of Recent Food Consumption and Nutrition Surveys in ASEAN - Malaysian Adult Nutrition Survey (MANS)214 Presenter : Mohamad Hasnan Bin Ahmad Nutritionist Institute For Public Health Ministry of Health 559 Jalan Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur 1 2 Introduction Introduction An understanding of common types of food consumed is crucial to identify the population s food choices Food consumption data provide an estimation on the quantity of each prepared food consumed by individuals The food consumption data vary considerably from country to country and even within a country due to variations in sociodemographic and socioeconomic status such as ethnicity, geographical areas, age, sex and income (Malik et al., 213) 3 The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that each countries should estimate their own food consumption pattern data. This is because the data can be used for a variety of purposes such as examining the dietary pattern, evaluating the frequency of food intake, assessing adequacy of nutrient intake, as well as establishing policies and recommendation. In Malaysia, nationwide food consumption data have been collected in Malaysian Adult Nutrition Survey (MANS) in 23 and 214. 4
Objectives General objectives To evaluate the food consumption intake of the Malaysian adult population Specific objectives 1.To determine the top ten foods frequently or regularly consumed by Malaysian adult population 2.To determine the changes in top ten foods frequently or regularly consumed with the previous study (MANS 23) 3.To determine daily intake of energy, macro- and micronutrients 4.To determine the changes in daily intake of energy, macro- and micro- nutrients with the previous study (MANS 23) Methodology MANS was a nationwide cross-sectional study conducted in March until June 214. Multistage stratified sampling design was used to select a representative sample of Malaysian adult population, aged 18 to 59 years old. Data on food consumption were derived from : 1. Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) which contains 165 common consumed foods/ beverages 2. One day 24-hour diet recall. NutriPro and Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) softwares were used for nutrient and statistical analyses. 5 6 MANS 214 Table 1.

Discussion Discussion Several food items were consumed daily and weekly by Malaysian adult population, which consists of diversity of types of food consumed There was almost similar food patterns reported in current MANS 214 with previous MANS 23 s food consumption pattern, but an increase consumption of processed foods such as soy sauce & condiments was observed Higher consumption of processed foods added with salts and unhealthy condiments increases the likelihood of unhealthy eating pattern such as higher intake of food consumed (Brondel et al., 29) Malaysians had an energy intake that met only 64% of RNI which is 6% lower compared to MANS 23. The percentage contribution of macronutrients (protein, carbohydrate and fat) are within the recommended ratios. Intake of micronutrients in relation to RNI could be described as low particularly for calcium and vitamin C intake. For sodium, the median intake was 1935mg/day which is on par with cut-off 2mg/day as recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). 21 22 Conclusion Recommendation Majority of the Malaysian adults consumed white rice daily with an average intake 2 ½ plates per day Compared with MANS 23, consumption of processed foods added with salt and condiments had increased and it is appear among the top ten most consumed foods. Generally, most of nutrient intake by Malaysian adult show the positive trend in term of achievement to RNI except for energy. An increasing trend of processed foods added with salts and condiments among adults in Malaysia is of concern and alternative healthier condiments and low salt processed foods should be recommended Regular nutrition surveys should be carried out to provide valuable information on trends in food and nutrient intake among Malaysian population. 23 24
