Malaysia continues to face growing concerns related to the double burden of malnutrition, with the persistence of undernutrition and the rising incidences of both obesity and non-communicable diseases despite many efforts through various nutrition action plans.
There is also rising misinformation regarding nutrition. Advancing nutrition for a healthier Malaysia requires a holistic and collaborative strategy where policies and practices are based on science. This conference offers opportunities for multiple stakeholders including academics, health professionals, public and private sectors, and non-governmental organisations to share evidence from recent work and explore collaborations.
This year’s theme highlights the importance of forging a path towards better nutrition for all through good communication of science, and policies and practices that are informed by science.
