Overweight & Obesity
|
Overweight and obesity are major health concerns not only in Malaysia but also worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), global obesity rates have tripled since 1975, and in 2016, more than 1.9 billion adults were overweight, with over 650 million of them being obese. In Malaysia, the prevalence of obesity has also increased significantly over the past few decades.
The National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) conducted in 2019 showed that the prevalence of overweight and obesity among adults in Malaysia was 30.0% and 20.7%, respectively. This is a worrying trend, as being overweight or obese can increase the risk of developing many health problems, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and certain types of cancer. |

What is Overweight & Obesity?
|
|
|
|
|
|
The fat you can pinch on your waist, arms, legs or anywhere else is all subcutaneous fat, stored just beneath the skin. |
|
|
|
Visceral fat is stored within the abdominal cavity found around muscle and vital internal organs such as the liver, pancreas and intestines. |
|
|
On average, consuming an excess of about 3,500 calories can result in gaining roughly 1 pound (0.45 kilograms) of body fat, but individual needs can vary widely. |

FAQ
|
|
How do you treat an overweight patient? |
|
|
We will take a comprehensive medical history, physical examination, blood test (if indicated), and a complete evaluation of your overall body composition during your visit to Revival Medical Clinic. Next, we go beyond the scale with the InBody test, a non-invasive, fast, and accurate body composition analysis. It will provide a detailed breakdown of your weight in terms of fat (visceral and subcutaneous), water, and muscle. Your health and fitness goals are achievable when you begin your journey at Revival Medical Clinic.
|
|
Can obesity affect my fertility? |
|
|
Obesity and weight gain negatively impact fertility outcomes and lead to lower success rates for vitro fertilization (IVF). Fertility problems are linked to excess weight and abdominal fat, which can affect a wide range of hormonal mechanisms. Fortunately, we have a weight loss program at Revival Medical Clinic that will assist you in losing weight as well as boosting your fertility.
|
|
Can being overweight or having obesity be cured? |
|
|
Losing weight is about getting healthy, not about the number on the scale. The key to effective weight loss is consistency. Common treatments for being overweight and obesity include losing weight through healthy eating, being more physically active, and making other changes to your usual habits. Weight-management programs in Revival Medical Clinic will help you to lose weight effectively and keep you from regaining weight.
|
|
Are slimming pills safe to consume? |
|
|
There are two major anti-obesity medicines used in Malaysia, namely Xenical and Phentermine. These slimming pills are licensed for the treatment of obesity and can only be prescribed by our doctor after a blood test. They are the only products that are proven to lead to meaningful weight loss. Xenical is a fat absorption inhibitor and works by preventing fats from getting into the bloodstream. It can successfully prevent up to 30% of dietary fat from being absorbed, depending on its dose. Phentermine is an appetite suppressor. It makes you feel full and minimises hunger pangs. Weight loss is moderate in the range of 2 to 10 kg over 2 to 3 months.
|
|
When should I take bioidentical hormones to control my weight? |
|
|
Generally, hormone imbalance can affect your ability to lose weight. Our doctors are certified to prescribe bioidentical hormones to replenish hormones and regulate body metabolism. Men and women with hormone imbalances may need hormone therapy for weight loss. The right BHRT treatment will help get your hormones back on track and ensure a more sustainable weight loss journey. Depending on your symptoms, risks involved, and hormone levels, our doctors will recommend a method and optimum dosage that is most suitable for you.
