This study aims to determine the prevalence of main meals intake and its association with body weight among adolescents in Malaysia. Materials and Methods: Data were obtained from the Adolescent Health Survey (ANS) 2017. This survey successfully recruited about 40,000 students from standard 4 to form 5 from randomly selected school in Malaysia. A set questions for habitual meal pattern practice were asked, and anthropometric, which is weight and height were also taken. Weighted sample analysis was applied as the data is representative of the population. Result: Prevalence of daily consumption of breakfast, lunch and dinner among Malaysian adolescent was 30.0%, 47.7% and 52.8% respectively. About 10.1% of adolescent did not take breakfast at all in a week, and it was highest compared to lunch (2.9%) and dinner (3.1%). The prevalence of entire week breakfast skipper was higher in urban (11.2%) compared to rural (8.8%) and among female (11.1%) compared to male (9.1%). Logistic regression after adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics found those who skipped dinner, breakfast and lunch were significantly associated with overweight or obese by the odds 1.33, 1.17 and 1.16, respectively. Conclusion: At this rapid growth phase, adolescents must be avoiding to skip main meals as it associated with overweight and obesity. Family, school and other related agencies must play a role in providing proper schedule and environment for adolescents to ensure they are not skipping any main meals. - PublicationPrevalence And Risk Factors for Sedentary Behavior Among Malaysian Adults(2016)

This study analyzed data from the National Health Morbidity Survey III, a cross-sectional nationwide study conducted in 2006. A total participants of 33 385 aged 18 and above were randomly recruited through multistage sampling. Sitting time data were collected using International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Overall prevalence of sedentary behavior was 23.5%. Higher proportion of sedentariness was seen among older (p<0.05), Chinese (p<0.05), divorcee/widower (p<0.05), those who were unemployed (p<0.05), those without formal education (p<0.05) and participants with diabetes (p<0.05), hypertension(p<0.05) and dyslipidaemia (p<0.05). In multivariable analysis, higher likelihood of being sedentary was observed among those with advancing age above 50 (OR between 1.20 and 2.92), Chinese (OR = 1.74, 95% CI: 1.58 - 1.91), unmarried (OR = 1.19, 95% CI: 1.08 - 1.30), unemployed (OR =1.79, 95% CI: 1.62 - 1.96) and diabetes patients (OR = 1.20, 95% CI: 1.10 - 1.31). One-eighth of total day time was spent on sitting. Nearly one out of four Malaysian adults was considered sedentary. Age, ethnicity, occupational status, marital status and diabetes were likely to be predictors of being sedentary.
