    A survey of smoking habits among the students attending the Student Health Clinic for various ailments showed:
    (1) Smoking in women is very uncommon (only 2 out of 79; 2.53%)
    (2) About 30% of men smoke (106 out of 322; 32.9%)
    3. The majority of these had commenced smoking before they entered the university.
    4. The majority smoked filter tipped brands.
    5. Where the mothers in the family smoked, the sons seem to take to smoking more readily.
    6. Knowledge of the effects of smoking on health was poor, but equal in all three groups viz in women and in both smoking and non-smoking men.

    300 patients (185 males, 115 females) were examined for intestinal parasites. About 40% of these patients was infected, 14% of which was heavily infected. The highest prevalence and intensity of infection with soil-transmitted helminths was found among Malays and Indians of different ages. Heavy infections with these helminths were also frequently encountered in young Chinese. Helminthic infections in patients over 60 years of age was significantly lower. There was no significant differences in the prevalence and degree of infection among males and females. The commonest helminth encountered was Trichuris trichiura, which usually occurred as trace single infections. Mixed infections with Ascaris and Trichuris, usually with the former as the predominating parasite, were also frequently observed.

    One hundred and ninety-nine children brought by 181 adults to a child health clinic based in a rural health sub-centre in Peninsular Malaysia are studied. It is noted that the families from which they come are relatively poor, with a large number of children, and that they are fairly highly motivated. Forty-four per cent of children attending the clinic at the time of the study are symptomatic indicating the need to organise the child health clinic on a "preventive-curative" basis. It is also noted that the young child is initially seen in early infancy but is lost to the clinic when he is older making it judicious to formulate immunization schedules that take this into account.

    In a study during 1972 of smoking habits of Malaysian medical students, smoking rates of medical students was seen to be higher than that of students in four other faculties in the University of Malaya. Male Malaysian medical students had higher smoking rates than their counterparts in Glasgow in 1971 (UM 20.3%, Glasgow 19.1%) but Malaysian females had very low smoking rates (male 25.2%, female 1.6%). Despite the fact that in the medical curriculum students are made aware of the scientific evidence on the health hazards of smoking, smoking rates were higher in students int their later years of study. Ethnicity was associate with smoking rates although father's smoking habit was not - and Malays had the highest smoking rates (malay 28.2%, chinese 16.3%, indian and others 23.5%).

    This study show that within a general hospital outpatient setting, the prescription of psychotropic medication is mainly confined to the anti-anxiety drugs and and secondarily to the hypnotics. There is a conspicuous absence of prescription for antipsychotic drugs and negligible use of antidepressants. The use of anti-anxiety drugs and hypnotics was higher in the general outpatient clinic than in the psychiatric outpatient clinic in the same hospital. This finding is in the trend of similar findings by others that non-psychiatrists prescribe more psychotropic medication including an-anxiety and hypnotic medication. In this study the use of psychotropic medication for patient generated psychiatric symptomalogy was only in 14.5% of cases prescribed these medication. The anti-anxiety drugs were prescribed as adjuncts in non-psychiatric conditions as well. Frequent use as adjuncts were in the treatment of muscular tension and in chronic cardiovascular disorders. There is a core of patients (20%) that had been continuously prescribed medication up to a period of 5 years. Half of these were chronic cardiovascular patients and half presented with no demonstrable systemic organicity. None had been referred to psychiatrist.

    A field survey, based on a representative sample of children aged 12 to 16 years was carried out in three different areas of Malaysia. The data derived from the study have revealed that 10.5 per cent of them used drugs for non-medical reasons. Drug use was more common among boys (11.9 per cent) than girls (8.6 per cent). The highest frequency of drug was found in the youngest group--12-year-old children (13.5 per cent). The use of barbiturate and/or non-barbiturate sedatives (5.5 per cent) ranked first. This was followed in descending order by tranquillizers (4.5 per cent), simultants/amphetamines (3.9 per cent), heroin (3.6 per cent), morphine and/or opium (3.9 per cent), the hallucinogens (3.1 per cent) and cannabis (2.7 per cent).
