Abstract

The National Health and Morbidity Survey 2022 showed that one-third of Malaysian adolescents aged 13-17 are affected by overweight and obesity (1). This may pose a greater health risk for adolescents and is associated with an earlier onset of various Non-Communicable Diseases (2,3). This study aims to review the changes following a school-level healthy weight intervention program and explore factors that affect adolescents’ weight.
