National Healthy Lifestyle Campaign 2009
Workplace Weight Loss Challenge
“Lose to Win!”

BACKGROUND

In Singapore, the prevalence of obesity among adults aged 18 – 69 increased from 5.1% in 1992 to 6.9% in 2004. Though the prevalence is currently low, it has steadily increased over the years. It is a major public health challenge due to the adverse health consequences associated with it, such as diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease, certain cancers and osteoarthritis.

In this year’s National Healthy Lifestyle Campaign, the Health Promotion Board together with its partners will put obesity in the limelight to raise awareness and motivate people towards healthy lifestyle practices.

This 3-month long campaign will kick-off with the “Lose to Win” Challenge for workplaces. The challenge aims to inspire & motivate groups of employees to lose weight the healthy way through the provision of an effective structured programme.
