Malaysia is sounding the alarm on a worsening obesity epidemic threatening public health. The 2023 National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) reveals 54.5% of adults are overweight or obese—30.4% obese and 38.1% overweight—up from 44.5% in 2011. Projections indicate this could rise to 41% of adults by 2035, with a staggering 4.7% annual increase, one of the highest globally. Even more alarming, 29.9% of children aged 5–17 are affected, with obesity rates climbing 5.3% yearly, signaling a generational health crisis.
Unhealthy lifestyles fuel this surge. Over 75.9% of adults exceed sodium intake (2,892 mg/day) while lacking potassium, compounded by sedentary habits (one in three adults) and insufficient sleep (38%). Urbanization and processed foods worsen the trend, with wealthier Malaysians facing higher risks.
The health toll is severe. Over 6.7 million adults suffer from fatty liver disease, 94% linked to abdominal obesity, alongside soaring diabetes (3.9 million cases), hypertension (76%), and cholesterol (48%). This crisis could strain healthcare further, with costs projected to exceed RM 10 billion by 2030. Shockingly, 57% of obese individuals misjudge their weight, delaying action.

马来西亚正面临日益严峻的肥胖流行病威胁。2023年国家健康与病发率调查显示，高达54.5%的成年人超重或肥胖——其中30.4%属肥胖，38.1%超重——较2011年的44.5%显著上升。预计到2035年，这一比例将攀升至41%，年增长率达4.7%，位居全球前列。更令人担忧的是，29.9%的5-17岁儿童青少年同样面临肥胖问题，年增长率达5.3%，预示着一场跨代际的健康危机。
不健康生活方式是主要推手。75.9%的成年人钠摄入超标（日均2892毫克）且钾摄入不足，加上缺乏运动（三分之一成年人）和睡眠不足（38%）等问题交织。城市化进程与加工食品普及加剧这一趋势，令人意外的是，经济条件较好的群体面临更高肥胖风险。
健康代价触目惊心：超过670万成年人患有脂肪肝（其中94%与腹部肥胖相关），糖尿病（390万例）、高血压（76%）和高胆固醇（48%）发病率持续攀升。若不加以控制，预计到2030年，医疗成本将突破100亿令吉。而最令人忧心的是，57%的肥胖者未能正确认知自身体重状况，错失早期干预良机。
