Malaysians are being placed under an iodized salt diet to tackle a nationwide micronutrient deficiency.

Starting September 30, 2020, Malaysia’s supply of edible salts will be mixed with iodine. According to the Health Ministry (MOH), iodine must be added to salt or fine salt – the ones we regularly use for cooking – weighing 20kgs or less, before it can be sold to consumers.

Why so-dium salty?

This comprehensive dietary change was made following amendments to the national Food Regulations 1985 in 2018 after it was found that Malaysians are suffering from iodine deficiency.

Studies revealed that around 48% of Malaysian children between 8 and 10-years-old lacked iodine in their diets.

Planning for Public Health

Project Background

Across the U.S., local governments are beginning to include goals and objectives that promote public health into their comprehensive plans. These long-term plans impact how people make choices of where to live and how to get around, their ability to access healthy foods and opportunities for physical activity, and affect broader issues of social equity, clean air and water, and more.

Understanding the potential for such long-term impacts, the Planning and Community Health Research Center is conducting a multi-year research study to:

  • Identify and determine to what extent municipalities and counties are addressing and integrating public health goals, objectives, and policies in their comprehensive planning efforts.
  • Identify which elements of the plan include health policies, such as land use, open space, transportation, or urban design.
  • Examine and evaluate the clarity, quality and comprehensiveness of public health goals and policies in a sample of the identified plans.
  • Conduct case
