Trend in Overweight & Obesity Among Adults in Malaysia from 2011 to 2023

Malaysia is grappling with a serious health challenge, as revealed by the 2023 National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS), which found that 54.5% of adults are overweight or obese—a rise from 50.1% in 2019. This alarming trend underscores the urgent need for action to address the growing prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol, which impact nearly 2.3 million adults with three NCDs and over 500,000 with four. At Weight Crafters Slimming Camp, we’re committed to helping Malaysians reverse this trend and embrace healthier lifestyles.

The NHMS 2023 also highlighted concerning lifestyle habits: one in three adults is physically inactive, and a staggering 95.1% fail to eat the recommended five daily servings of fruits and vegetables. These factors, combined with easy access to calorie-rich foods, are fueling Malaysia’s obesity epidemic. The Ministry of Health has introduced measures like sugar taxes, but lasting change starts with individual commitment.
