INTEGRATED HEALTH RISKS SCREENING
Screening is carried out using the Health Status Screening Form (BSSK) for adolescents aged between
10 and 19, men and women between 20 and 59 years old and senior citizens aged 60 years and above.
This integration allows effective screening and health risk interventions by age distribution, teenagers,
adults and senior citizens.

In 2017, a total of 1,204,031 people or 4.5 per cent of the population were screened from 27,052,000
citizens, the estimated population of Malaysia in 2017 aged 10 years and over. An analysis of this report
was made from health screening and health risk interventions from January to December 2017. Data
sources are obtained from reports received from 13 State Health Departments and 2 Federal Territory
Health Departments on a monthly basis. A total of 6 states, namely Perlis, Penang, Negeri Sembilan,
Pahang, Terengganu, and Sarawak, have achieved the target of 5 per cent of the screened population
as shown in Figure 49.
