INTRODUCTION: The Orang Asli Health Survey (OAHS) will be the first nationwide survey
focusing on the Orang Asli (OA) community. The study objective is to determine the health
status of OA, covering scopes of communicable and non-communicable diseases, maternal
and child health, nutritional status, environmental health, oral health and healthcare
utilisation.
METHODS: This is a cross-sectional survey which will be conducted from July to September
2022 targeting OA community of all ages from the three main tribes; Senoi, Proto-Malay and
Negrito. A stratified random cluster sampling is used to select a representative sample from
4,757 living quarters in urban, fringe and interior localities based on the sampling frame by
Jabatan Kemajuan Orang Asli (JAKOA). The final estimated number of respondents is 21,622
from 71 villages in 8 states in Peninsular Malaysia. Field officers will work closely with various
state liaison officers from the Ministry of Health (MOH) and JAKOA. Data collection is via face-
to-face interview by trained interviewers using structured validated questionnaires. Data
collected will be transferred to the central server prior cleaning and analysis. Analysis will be
done at the national level and based on locality and tribes.
RESULT: Data obtained will help to provide baseline prevalence estimates of various health
conditions among OA. All the outcomes reported shall be reflected in the technical report
made available to all stakeholders.
DISCUSSION: The OA is a vulnerable community with limited information on their health
status. The findings will help the MOH in addressing the health issues and challenges unique
to the population.

INTRODUCTION: Point-of-care testing (POCT) for blood glucose is frequently used to manage
blood glucose levels in diabetic patients. The accuracy of the POCT is necessary to avoid the
false negative results. This study aimed to determine the diagnostic performance of CareSens
Dual for capillary and venous fasting blood glucose (FBS) in screening of diabetes and to
examine the agreement between CareSens Dual with a reference FBS laboratory.
