For 14-year-old Muhammad Mikhail Mohd Yuzaini, family support is central in helping him grow up healthy. Weighing 103kg at 169cm tall, he is clinically obese. His father, Mohd Yuzaini Abu Bakar, a hospital nuclear medicine technologist, understands the health risks because he’s lived them – at one point weighing 165kg himself.
“Obesity runs in our family,” he says. “Diet and exercise help, but without the right strategies – and sometimes medical intervention – it’s hard to lose weight.”
