KUALA LUMPUR: Evidence from an annual study has shown that Kuala Lumpur ranks third among the most overworked cities in the world. According to a study conducted in August 2022, Kuala Lumpur has emerged as the third most overworked city globally. This highlights the strenuous work culture and long working hours that individuals in Kuala Lumpur experience on a regular basis.
Additionally, a Global Pain Index report from 2020 revealed that Malaysia has a high incidence of pain, with 85% of Malaysians experiencing pain. Body pain was identified as one of the most common types of pain among Malaysians. The sedentary lifestyles, stress-induced tension, and incorrect posture of individuals are primarily responsible for these body pain issues.
In response to the widespread pain prevalence in Malaysia and its impact on everyday health, Panadol has introduced a new range of body pain relief products called Panaflex Patch. This new range of products aims to provide fast-acting and effective solutions for Malaysians dealing with body pain.
