By 2035, Most Malaysian Kids Overweight: Is Education the Antidote?

Recent research that has foreseen a concerning trend in Malaysia predicts that by 2035, most of its youth will be overweight. One worrying pattern is this one. This forecast is grounded in the nation’s existing trend of children’s health and lifestyle choices rather than in wild conjecture. This forecast is based on the current national trend of children’s health and lifestyle choices.

Main Causes of This

This has made people live more and more inactive lives, which has increased the frequency of such lives. Moreover, the abundance of reasonably priced processed foods and the spread of fast food franchises have made bad eating habits the rule rather than the exception.

An Invocation for Action
