在马来西亚，儿童超重和肥胖的流行率正在上升，目前6个月至12岁的儿童中有近10%超重，近12%肥胖。需要早期干预以防止体重过度增加。ToyBoxStudy Malaysia是一个可行性项目，由医学研究理事会Newton-Ungku Omar基金会资助，旨在评估将现有的欧洲ToyBoxStudy干预计划适应马来西亚幼儿园环境的可行性。所有ToyBox计划的主要目标都与改善四个关键的能量平衡相关行为有关，即饮水、吃健康的零食和膳食、减少久坐行为和增加体育活动。使用分层抽样，ToyBoxStudy Malaysia干预措施将通过评估行为，身体活动和健康相关结果（通过问卷，加速度计和人体测量法测量）进行交付并与通常做法进行比较。希望ToyBoxStudy Malaysia将有助于儿童及其家庭实现更健康的能量平衡相关行为，并为健康提供终身益处。这篇文章提供了马来西亚儿童的饮食模式、身体活动水平和超重和肥胖的流行情况，以及马来西亚ToyBox研究的方法。
The prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity is increasing in Malaysia and currently nearly 10% of children aged between 6months and 12years are overweight and almost 12% are obese. Early interventions to prevent excess weight gain are needed. ToyBoxStudy Malaysia is a feasibility project, funded by the Medical Research Council Newton-Ungku Omar Fund, to assess the practicalities of adapting the existing European ToyBoxStudy intervention programme to the Malaysian kindergarten setting. The main aims of all ToyBox programmes are related to improving four key energy balance-related behaviours, namely drinking water, eating healthy snacks and meals, reducing sedentary behaviour and increasing physical activity. Using stratified sampling, the ToyBoxStudy Malaysia intervention will be delivered and compared to usual practice by assessing behaviour, physical activity and health-related outcomes as measured by questionnaires, accelerometry and anthropometry. It is hoped that the evidence-based ToyBoxStudy Malaysia will help to achieve healthier energy balance-related behaviours in the children and their families and provide lifelong benefits to health. This article provides information on the dietary patterns, physical activity levels and prevalence of overweight and obesity in Malaysian children, and the approach of the ToyBoxStudy Malaysia.
