Body weight, height and waist circumference measurements were taken bytrained health nurses according to a standard procedure (WHO, 1998). Body Mass Index (BMI) wasdetermined among 33,055 eligible adults, while risk of abdominal obesity based on waistcircumference (WC) was obtained from 32,900 individuals. In addition, peripheral muscle wastingwas determined using calf circumference (CC) among 4,282 older individuals aged 60 years andabove. The national prevalence of normal BMI (BMI 18.5-24.9 kg/m2) was 48.4% (47.7–49.0)*. Theprevalence of underweight (BMI <18.5 kg/m2) was 8.5% (8.2–8.9), being higher in rural areas {9.8%(9.2–10.4)} than in urban areas {7.8% (7.4–8.3)}. Meanwhile, 29.1% (28.6–29.7) of the adults wereoverweight (BMI 25.0-29.9 kg/m2). Among the ethnic groups, Indians had the highest prevalenceof overweight followed by Malays and Chinese. In addition, 14.0% (13.6–14.5) of the adults wereobese (BMI >30.0 kg/m2). Women had higher obesity prevalence at 17.4% (16.7–18.0) than men at10.0% (9.5–10.5). In terms of ethnic groups, Indians and Malays had higher obesity prevalence thanother groups. By occupation category, housewives showed the highest prevalence of obesity at20.3% (19.4–21.3). The prevalence of abdominal obesity (WC for women >88 cm and men >102 cm)was 17.4% (16.9-17.9), with women showing higher prevalence {26.0% (25.2-26.8)} than men {7.3%(6.7-7.6}. The prevalence of older persons with peripheral muscle wasting (calf circumference forwomen < 27.3 cm and men < 30.1 cm) was 19.9% (18.5–21.6), with a higher prevalence of men{23.7% (21.6-25.9)} than women {16.8% (15.1-18.5)} at risk of malnutrition according to this indicator.In comparison, the present national prevalence of underweight of 8.5% was three times lower thanthat (25.2%) reported in the NHMS II in 1996. In contrast, the prevalence of overweight hasof 14.0% in this study and 12.7% in the MANS were approximately three times the level of 4.4%found in 1996 (NHMS III). This alarming trend calls for serious re-examination of public healthprogrammes for more effective reduction of obesity among Malaysian adults. increasedfrom 16.6% in the NMHS II to 29.1% in the present study. The latter is comparable with the findingof 27.4% reported in another nationally representative sample involving over 5,000 adults namely,the Malaysian Adults Nutrition Survey (MANS) conducted in 2003. It is noted that obesity prevalence of 14.0% in this study and 12.7% in the MANS were approximately three times the level of 4.4%found in 1996 (NHMS III). This alarming trend calls for serious re-examination of public healthprogrammes for more effective reduction of obesity among Malaysian adults." @default.
