Many studies have investigated the coronary risk factors (CRFs) among premature coronary artery disease (PCAD) patients. However, reports on the proportion and CRFs of PCAD according to different age cut-offs for PCAD is globally under-reported. This study aimed to determine the proportion of PCAD patients and analyse the significant CRFs according to different age cut-offs among percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)-treated patients.

- - Haze has been a recurring issue in Southeast Asia, particularly in Malaysia, primarily caused by particulate matter (PM) that poses serious health risks.
- - This study analyzed PM concentration data from several Malaysian cities during haze events, revealing that average PM levels often exceeded the recommended air quality guidelines, with considerable fluctuations during specific monsoon periods.
- - The research identified that haze episodes were associated with air masses from Sumatra and noted various correlations between PM concentrations and other pollutants like CO, SO, and humidity, indicating limited domestic sources of NOx contributing to the haze.
