A total of 455 adolescents from five secondary schools aged 13-16 years old were recruited through random cluster sampling. Socio-demographic status (age, gender, ethnicity, religion, parent’s income) were collected. Dietary intakes were measured using a 24-hour diet recall and total energy and macronutrient were compared with Recommended Nutrient Intake (RNI) value. Body weight and height were measured and BMI-for-age was calculated. A set of self-administered questionnaires of Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents (PAQ-A), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Perception of Teasing Scale (POTS), Secondary School Stressor Questionnaire (SSSQ), Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE) and Children Depression Inventory (CDI) were used to measure physical activity, perceived stress, weight teasing, secondary school stressor, parenting style, self-esteem and depression respectively. The mean age of the subjects was 14.33 ± 1.23 years old in which the percentage of males and females was 14.33 ± 1.23 years old in which the percentage of males and females was 50.3% and 49.7% respectively. More than half of the subjects were Malays (69.9%), followed by Chinese (17.1%), Indian (12.5%) and others (0.4%). Majority of the subjects (64.4%) having a normal body weight status, while 6.0% and 30% were severe thinness/thinness and overweight/obese respectively. Compared with RNI value, 92.3% (n=420) and 48.6% (n=221) of subjects had low total energy and protein intake respectively. Body weight status was only correlated with perceived stress (r=-0.097, p=0.04), weight teasing (r=0.514, p<0.000), academic related stressor (r=-0.095, p=0.043) and females adolescent’s permissive parenting style (r=-0.154, p=0.021), however not significantly correlated with physical activity(r=0.041, p=0.381) and depression (r=-0.030, p=0.527). Meanwhile, there was a significant difference in total energy (t=4.555, p=0.000), carbohydrate (t=3.781, p=0.000), protein (t=3.846, p=0.000) and fat intake (t=4.153, p=0.000) between overweight/obese and non-obese subjects. In addition, Stepwise Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) analysis was performed and results showed only age (ß=-0.153, p<0.05), weight-related teasing (ß=0.113, p<0.05) and carbohydrate intake (ß=- 0.048, p<0.05) significantly predict of body weight status, R2 = 0.749, ∆R2 = 0.746, F (4, 450) = 334.94, p<0.001. In term of Logistic Regression (LR) analysis, only one factor that significantly predict body weight status which was weight-related teasing (high weight-related teasing: OR 0.12; 95% CI 0.07, 0.21). Thus, these findings can contribute for future intervention programmes among school-aged students in order to curb the overweight and obesity among adolescents.
