The 4ha farm in Raub, Pahang adopts sustainable practices to promote a resilient food system.
Available statistics show that six out of 10 children in the country are at risk of being overweight or obese by 2035, with boys facing a higher prevalence of obesity.
“This usually start with excessive feeding since small and a typical family pattern of excess food consumption,” she said. Prof Sharifa Ezat said differences in the obesity prevalence between girls and boys may be driven by gender-related influences. She said children with obesity or who are overweight have a higher risk of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, fatty liver, Type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep apnoea, certain cancers, arthritis, gall bladder diseases, metabolic diseases in adulthood, flat feet and mental health issues such as increased stress.
Meanwhile, 7% or 526,068 children with high BMI will be at risk of developing high blood pressure, and 3.6% or 180,749 children are at risk of suffering hyperglycaemia. “Height gains for girls during puberty may have some positive impact on the BMI. This may explain the prevalence of obesity among those within the ages of 10-19 years,” she said.
