PETALING JAYA: To prevent complications from Covid-19, the Consumers Association of Penang (CAP) has urged Malaysians to re-evaluate and change their lifestyle and eating habits.

CAP president Mohideen Abdul Kader pointed out that there is a high prevalence of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes among Malaysians.

Citing figures from the 2019 National Health and Morbidity survey, Mohideen said the number of pre-diabetes cases has jumped from 8.8% in 2015 to 23% in 2019. "Malaysia is also the most obese nation in Asia, with about half of its over 32 million population being overweight or obese," he said. "Diabetes has not only taken a toll on resources, as it is a costly disease to the nation, but also on the limbs and eyesight of its sufferers," he added.
