The Malaya: With elegant gold-hued Rizman Ruzaini collection, Malaysia squad to bring ‘spirit of warriors’ along to Paris 2024 JULY 26 — In a written parliamentary reply last week, Health Minister Datuk Seri Dzulkefly Ahmad said the country’s prevalence of stunting among children under five has increased from 17.7 per cent in 2015 to 21.2 per cent in 2022.
Malaysia’s stunting prevalence is far worse than West Bank & Gaza and comparable to Iraq’s stunting rate at the end of the American invasion in 2011. Malaysia’s current rate far exceeds the target of 11.0 per cent to be achieved by the year 2025 under the National Plan of Action for Nutrition of Malaysia 2016-2025.
The Multicentre Growth Reference Study collected data on the growth of 8500 children aged 0-5 years from six sites and found that average growth is strikingly similar around the world when conditions for growth are optimal. The study found only about 3 per cent variability in foetal growth, whereby this variability is caused by factors unrelated to genetics or ethnicity, and were more influenced by nutrition, environment, and healthcare differences.
