Ms Nithiah started working at Centre for Population Health, SPM Department as research officer from 2011 after completion of her Masters in Applied Statistics (UM) in 2010. One of her research findings from the Malaysian Health and Adolescents Longitudinal Research Team (MyHeART) Study was that more than 12% of adolescents from this cohort remained in the high risk cluster of developing CVD. There were sizable adverse transitions over time as more adolescents appear to be shifting toward an increased risk of having CVD.
