The national government policies and Jabatan Kemajuan Orang Asli (JAKOA) have to put more effort to improve the quality of life for Orang Asli communities. Over the years, under the government-sanctioned relocation programme, many Orang Asli groups were moved to a more developed and urban area. They were given proper facility, healthcare service to ensure the improvement of overall well-being. While undernutrition among the Orang Asli remains a major health issue, evidence has shown that overweight and obesity in this population are increasing. This observation might be attributed to an urbanised lifestyle that often leads to unhealthy dietary patterns, leading to an increased prevalence of obesity, chronic diseases, food insecurity and unhealthy diet intake. The nutritional transition should be capture for a better understanding of Orang Asli nutritional status. This review assessed the nutritional status and its related key factors among population in Malaysia.
国家政府政策以及马来西亚原住民发展局（JAKOA）必须付出更多努力来改善原住民社区的生活质量。多年来，在政府批准的搬迁计划下，许多原住民群体被迁移到更发达的城市地区。他们获得了适当的设施和医疗保健服务，以确保整体福祉得到改善。虽然原住民中的营养不良仍然是一个主要的健康问题，但有证据表明，这一人群中的超重和肥胖现象正在增加。这种现象可能归因于城市化的生活方式，这种生活方式往往导致不健康的饮食模式，进而导致肥胖、慢性病、粮食不安全和不健康饮食摄入的患病率上升。为了更好地了解原住民的营养状况，应该关注营养转型。本综述评估了马来西亚人群的营养状况及其相关关键因素。
