Tobacco use was measured using standardized modules adapted from the Global Adult Tobacco Survey and the National Health and Morbidity Survey, and associations were examined using logistic regression in IBM SPSS 28.0. Overall prevalence was 31.2%. The odds of tobacco use were significantly higher among males (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 12.7; 95% confidence interval [CI] 11.13, 14.49), the Proto-Malay tribe (aOR = 1.9; 95% CI [1.67, 2.13]), rural residents (aOR = 1.2; 95% CI [1.01, 1.53]), those with lower education (aOR = 1.5; 95% CI [1.33, 1.68]), employed persons (aOR = 1.8; 95% CI [1.57, 2.02]), and individuals with lower income (aOR = 1.2; 95% CI [1.07, 1.34]). These results demonstrate the disproportionate burden among specific sociodemographic groups. Targeted prevention and cessation efforts, alongside strategies addressing socioeconomic disadvantage and strengthened multisectoral collaboration, are needed to reduce tobacco use and improve health outcomes in this vulnerable population.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/10105395261435157","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,13]],"date-time":"2026-04-13T13:58:18Z","timestamp":1776088698000},"page":"36-42","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Prevalence and Sociodemographic Factors Associated With Tobacco Use Among Malaysia\u2019s\n                    <i>Orang Asli<\/i>\n                    : Evidence From the\n                    <i>Orang Asli<\/i>\n                    Health Survey 2022"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"38","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3156-316X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohd Ruhaizie","family":"Riyadzi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Public Health, National Institutes of Health, Ministry of Health Malaysia, Shah Alam, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0612-3282","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hamizatul Akmal","family":"Abd Hamid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Public Health, National Institutes of Health, Ministry of Health Malaysia, Shah Alam, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-6041-4428","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohd Firdaus","family":"Razali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Public Health, National Institutes of Health, Ministry of Health Malaysia, Shah Alam, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8342-0777","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thamil Arasu","family":"Saminathan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Public Health, National Institutes of Health, Ministry of Health Malaysia, Shah Alam, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0313-2821","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tania Gayle","family":"Robert Lourdes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Public Health, National Institutes of Health, Ministry of Health Malaysia, Shah Alam, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tuan Mohd Amin","family":"Tuan Lah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Public Health, National Institutes of Health, Ministry of Health Malaysia, Shah Alam, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9838-3366","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohd Hazrin","family":"Hasim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Public Health, National Institutes of Health, Ministry of Health Malaysia, Shah Alam, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nurhaliza","family":"Zakariah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sector of Tobacco Control and FCTC Secretariat, Diseases Control Division, Ministry of Health Malaysia, Putrajaya, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Muhammad Hairul Nizam","family":"Abd Hamid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sector of Tobacco Control and FCTC Secretariat, Diseases Control Division, Ministry of Health Malaysia, Putrajaya, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ahmad Firdaus","family":"Rubani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sector of Tobacco Control and FCTC Secretariat, Diseases Control Division, Ministry of Health Malaysia, Putrajaya, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0522-0013","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nizam","family":"Baharom","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM), Nilai, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3962-5847","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muhammad Fadhli","family":"Mohd Yusoff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Public Health, National Institutes of Health, Ministry of Health Malaysia, Shah Alam, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","volume-title":"National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) 2019: Vol. I: NCDs\u2014Non-Communicable Diseases: Risk Factors and Other Health Problems","author":"Institute for Public Health","year":"2020","unstructured":"Institute for Public Health.
