Anti-obesity campaign in schools yields worrying results


SIBU: A campaign against obesity launched in five secondary schools here six months ago produced worrying results – 30% of the 152 parti­cipants have actually gained weight.

Forty-six of those who took part in the campaign – which was also open to the public – gained between 1kg and 7kg despite being rewarded to lose weight.
