MORBIDITY IN SCHOOL CHILDREN
Figure 28 and 29 described the trends of overweight and obesity among Year 1, Year 6 and Form 3
students between the periods of 2009 to 2017. It was observed that the percentage of school children
with overweight and obesity were highest during Year 6 school year and declined when the students
reached Form 3. This is likely due to the growth spurt during adolescent period.
