Nutrition Month Malaysia 2025

Double burden malnutrition continues to be a major public health concern in Malaysia, as highlighted in the latest National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) 2023. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and obesity—collectively known as the "three plus one" conditions— remain as serious problem. On the other hand, there are significant undernutrition problems like a growth retardation and micronutrient deficiencies among certain segments of the population.
