Obesity is a growing concern in Singapore. 10% of Singaporeans are obese, and 1 in 3 Singaporeans are overweight.
As obesity is a known risk factor for many chronic conditions, addressing it early is essential to improving long-term health outcomes. To support residents in managing their weight and preventing related conditions, NU-LITE was developed in 2023 as part of NUHS’s community health efforts.
