10% of Malaysians above 30 are diabetic and 15% of this 10% are above 40.
PREVIOUS YEARS Statistics
1986 = 6%
1996 = 8%
2000 = 11%
2006 = 15%
OH MY! Look at the percentage! Will it ever decrease? By 1% at least? Scary, huh?
Let's look at the "prediction" of the stats in between 2000-2025.....
170%
Do you guys think we can escape the percentage if we don't do something about it??
No wonder the Ministry of Health is so concerned about this and they even came up with loads and loads of commercials to create awareness about sugar intake among us Malaysians!
Wake up people! Here are the causes:
- Unhealthy Diet
- Obesity
- Lack of Physical Activity
Teenagers and youngsters are at risk too! So don't take this matter for-granted.
