Although intermittent fasting is a generally new dietary approach to weight management that has been increasingly practiced worldwide, the effectiveness of 2 days per week dry fasting remains unclear. Objective The Cardiometabolic and Anthropometric Outcomes of Intermittent Fasting study aims to determine the cardiometabolic, anthropometric, dietary intake, and quality of life changes among civil servants with overweight and obesity, following combined intermittent fasting and healthy plate (IFHP) and healthy plate (HP) and explore the participants’ experiences. Methods We designed a mixed methods quasi-experimental study to evaluate the effectiveness of the IFHP and HP methods among adults with overweight and obesity. A total of 177 participants were recruited for this study, of which 91 (51.4%) were allocated to the IFHP group and 86 (48.6%) to the HP group. The intervention comprised 2 phases: supervised (12 weeks) and unsupervised (12 weeks). Data collection was conducted at baseline, after the supervised phase (week 12), and after the unsupervised phase (week 24). Serum and whole blood samples were collected from each participant for analysis. Data on sociodemographic factors, quality of life, physical activity, and dietary intake were also obtained using questionnaires during data collection. Results Most of the participants were female (147/177, 83.1%) and Malay (141/177, 79.7%). The expected outcomes of this study are changes in body weight, body composition, quality of life, physical activity, dietary intake, and cardiometabolic parameters such as fasting blood glucose, 2-hour postprandial blood glucose, hemoglobin A1c, fasting insulin, and lipid profile. Conclusions The Cardiometabolic and Anthropometric Outcomes of Intermittent Fasting study is a mixed methods study to evaluate the effectiveness of combined IFHP and HP interventions on cardiometabolic and anthropometric parameters and explore participants’ experiences throughout the study.

;Foo Gaik Zhen ;Asma’ Ali ;Hayati Mohd Yusof ;Khairil Shazmin Kamarudin ;Noor Salihah ZakariaAhmad Ali ZainuddinDue to poverty, Orang Asli, Peninsular Malaysia’s indigenous people, are vulnerable to insufficient food consumption, which results in undernutrition and poor diet quality among children. Although the government has launched relocation programs to enhance Orang Asli’s living conditions, nothing is known regarding their repercussion on children’s nutritional status and diet quality. This study enrolled 120 Orang Asli children between the ages of 6 and 9 who lived in resettlement settlements in the Cam eron Highlands. The purpose of this study was to determine the nutritional status and diet quality of these children. The children were chosen using a consecutive sampling technique and were chosen based on their availability and willingness to reply. After obtaining informed consent from their parents or caregivers, they were interviewed for sociodemographic information, dietary consumption, and nutritional status assessment. Their parents/caregivers assisted with the assessment. The dietary recall was gathered using a two-day 24-hour dietary recall form, and diet quality was measured using the Healthy Eating Index-1995 (HEI), whereas nutritional status was calculated using body mass index for age (BMI-for-age). Findings showed that Orang Asli children consumed adequate amount of energy and macronutrients but lacked micronutrients (calcium, Vitamin D, A, and C intakes). The mean overall HEI score was 58.9, indicating that they needed to improve their dietary intake. In comparison to other dietary groups, grains had the highest mean HEI score (9.8±0.7). The Orang Asli children scored highly on the fat component score (8.5±2.9). Orang Asli children consumed about maximum amount of salt score (9.4±2.4). Meat and milk had comparable mean composite scores (3.9±3.0). Fruit (2.6±2.7) and vegetable intake (1.2±2.0) had the lowest mean score of any food group. Orang Asli children also consumed a limited variety of foods score (2.4±4.3). Around 68.3% of children have a normal BMI for their age, followed by those who are undernourished (17.5%) and those who are overnourished (14.1%). There is no evidence of an association between diet quality and nutritional status in this study (r = -0.102, p = 0.267). Taken together, resettlement programs established by Malaysia’s Department of Aboriginal Affairs (JAKOA) may not substantially increase the Orang Asli community’s dietary quality, particularly among children. As a result, there is a clear need for a nutrition education module that would assist Orang Asli parents in preparing more healthy diets for their children. - PublicationUltra-Processed Food Consumption About Body Mass Index (BMI) of Public University Students in Malaysia(2023)
;Girijah Ganesrau ;Asma' Ali ;Hamid Jan Jan Mohamed ;Ahmad Ali Zainuddin ;Hayati Mohd YusofSim Why JeanThe Malaysian Nutrition Research Priorities for the 12th Plan (2021-2025) has identified a critical need for research on the consumption of ultra-processed foods among public university students in Malaysia. Despite this need, there is a lack of empirical research on the relationship between ultra-processed food intake and body mass index (BMI) in this population. To address this gap, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between the consumption of ultra-processed foods and BMI in public university students in Malaysia. A cross-sectional study design was employed, involving 250 respondents aged 18 years and above. Data was collected through a self-administered questionnaire, which consisted of three parts: a socio-demographic profile, anthropometric measurement, and a 24-hr dietary record. Food and beverage consumption was classified using the NOVA food categorization system (composed of Group 1: Unprocessed or minimally processed foods, Group 2: Processed culinary ingredients, Group 3: Processed foods, and Group 4: Ultra-processed foods), and energy intake was calculated using the Nutritionist Pro software and food guidance books. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 20.0. The results showed that the average daily caloric intake was 1821.74 ± 439.03 kcal, with 31% of the total intake being contributed by ultra-processed foods (Group 4). The average energy intake from Group 1 and 2 was 1225.95 ± 414.90 kcal, Group 3 was 33.52 ± 73.83 kcal and Group 4 was 562.27 ± 344.71 kcal. The average BMI was 23.10 (7.38) kg/m2, which falls within the normal category. The analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between ultra-processed food consumption and BMI (rs=0.16, n=250, p=0.014). This study provides valuable insights into ultra-processed food consumption patterns among Malaysian university students using the NOVA classification system and highlights the importance of reducing such consumption to prevent nutritionally related diseases among public university students in the country.
