18th October : World Menopause Day

Menopause is a naturally occuring life stage for woman at certain age.

The average age of menopause in Malaysian women is around 50.7 years. As our women’s life expectancy is 77.9 years, hence 1/3 of our life is spent beyond menopause.

A recent study had shown that the most prevalent symptoms of menopause among Malaysian women are joint pain ( 73%) and tiredness ( 59.3%), followed by vasomotor symptoms ( 55%).

Beside Menopause Hormone Therapy (MHT), adopting healthy lifestyle practices can help manage your menopause symptom and reduce your risk of developing chronic diseases.

A simple exercise eg brisk walking had shown to have many benefits in reducing your menopause symptoms too.

“ Life doesn’t end with menopause; it’s the beginning of a new adventure. Strap in and enjoy the ride “ ~ Helen Mirren, Actress

Do you know that by brisk walking at Pantai Tg Batu, Bintulu for 5 km (1 hour), will cover at least 6500 steps?

Although 10 000 steps/day can still be a viable target for those who are more active, 7000 steps/day is associated with clinically meaningful improvements in health outcomes, and might be a more realistic and achievable target for some:

🚶‍♀️‍➡️6000 steps/day help lower risk of Type 2 Diabetes especially in older women.
🚶‍♂️ 6500 steps/day is associated with lower blood pressure.

The bottom line is, whether you walk 2500 steps or 10000 steps, every step counts toward a healthier, longer life.

How many steps have you covered today?

Lets aim for minimum of 7000 steps a day !

How many steps a day do you really need for better health? You’ve probably heard that 10,000 steps is the magic number, but that figure actually comes from a 1960s marketing campaign to sell pedometers.

A new study in The Lancet Public Health shows that just 7,000 steps per day has many meaningful benefits, including lower risks of heart disease, cancer mortality, dementia, diabetes, depression, and falls.

That's right - walking for health is more achievable than ever, and every step counts! Find a walking group and learn more about the incredible benefits of walking at https://walkwithadoc.org

“Walk With A Doctor” edisi Ogos 2025

Terima kasih pihak Bintulu Car Free Morning dan Bintulu Development Authority yang memberi peluang untuk kami membuat ‘sharing session’ serta berjalan bersama-sama peserta BCFM pagi ini.

Sedikit ‘recap’ tentang perkongsian topik kesihatan pagi tadi :
1) Nyanyuk/dementia/ penyakit lupa BUKAN proses penuaan yang normal
2) 8.5% warga emas Malaysia mengalami ‘dementia’
3) 5 langkah untuk mengurangkan risiko ‘dementia’ :
- pemakanan sihat
- aktif ( 7000 langkah/hari boleh menurunkan risiko dementia sebanyak 38%)
- stimulasi mental/otak : belajar benda baru, banyakkan membaca , sudoku, jigsaw puzzle dsbnya
- aktiviti sosial yang positif
- kestabilan penyakit kardiovaskular ( hypertension, diabetes, hypercholestetolaemia dsbnya)

Ya, kita boleh kurangkan risiko dementia dengan ‘ healthy lifestyle’… bukannya bergantung dengan supplements !

Semoga perkongsian kesihatan pagi tadi dapat memberi sedikit kesedaran mengenai ‘ dementia’.

Terima kasih Dr Saira ( Pakar Perubatan, Kemena Pacific Hospital), Dr Ayuni dan Dr Izzul ( Jabatan Psikiatri, Hospital Bintulu) yang turun padang untuk aktiviti pagi ini.

Jumpa lagi di edisi October nanti!

“ Together we make Bintulu Healthier”
