Early path to good health

MALAYSIA has one of the highest prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in the world. According to the National Health and Morbidity Survey 2015, 17.5% of Malaysians aged 18 and above are diabetic. This is more than twice the world’s average at 8.5%.

To make thing worse, almost 40% of our population are overweight and more than half are considered physically inactive (World Health Organisation 2016). These pools of obese and sedentary citizens are exposed to great risks of DM onset.
