This conference is organised by the Nutrition Society of Malaysia (NSM). NSM is a non-profit professional organisation established in 1985, with membership comprising mainly of nutritionists.
NSM has two main objectives: (i) Promote, advance, and disseminate scientific knowledge of food and nutrition, and (ii) Promote healthy eating and active living amongst all Malaysians.
As a professional organisation, NSM is guided by a simple belief – the more people understand food and nutrition, the better they can care for their health and wellbeing. For that reason, NSM supports the advancement of research, sharing practical insights and important discoveries for the benefits for all. NSM also support the Government’s efforts in promoting healthy nutrition in the society to combat nutrient deficiencies as well as diet-related chronic diseases in the country (e.g., obesity, diabetes, hypertension and coronary heart disease).
This year, the 40th NSM Scientific Conference has aptly chosen the theme, “Advancing Nutrition for a Healthier Malaysia: Bridging Science, Policy, and Practice”, highlighting 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. Advancing nutrition for a healthier Malaysia requires a holistic and collaborative strategy where policies and practices are based on science. The conference will share emerging findings, data, and insights derived from recent nutritional programmes and research to empower key stakeholders to implement successful preventive nutrition initiatives, programmes, and policies, ultimately fostering better nutrition and health practices and outcomes for the Malaysian population.
