brought under control in this country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A nutritionist at The National University of Malaysia (UKM) Prof Dr Mohamed Ismail Mohd Noor said obesity and malnourishment can become worse because of lifestyle and misconceptions about nutrition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Prof Ismail, a former Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Allied Health Sciences (FSKB), said that the problem can be addressed through education and dissemination of information, particularly through schools and medical centres.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Speaking after being awarded Emeritus Professor at the 5th session of the 42<sup>nd<\/sup> Convocation of UKM here today, he said if obesity and nutritional imbalance are not brought under control, both will adversely affect the health of children and adolescents in the country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Prof Ismail said when he was Head of Department of Nutrition and Dietetic (1998-2005) at FSKB, his research on nutrition found a huge gap between developing and developed countries.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In developing countries there is malnourishment caused by lack of protein noting that imbalance consumption of food resulted in health issues and even death among children.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Malaysia the problem is more about nutritional imbalance due to misunderstanding about the nutritional value and too much protein and fats from fast foods.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Prof Ismail is a Fellow of the Malaysian Scientific Association whose advice is often sought in the formulation of policies on sports nutrition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">FSKB Dean Prof Dr Siti Zamratol-Mai Sarah Mukari, said Prof Ismail is a respected scholar internationally in the field of nutrition particularly in energy needs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Introducing Prof Ismail, Prof Siti Zamratol-Mai said the results of his research have been published in more than 12 books.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He is also a member of the board of editors of high-impact international journals such as British Journal of Nutrition and the Annals of Nutrition.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\"
