Multimodal nutrition education intervention: a cluster Randomised controlled trial study on weight gain and physical activity pattern among university students in Terengganu

introduction: This cluster randomised controlled study design aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing nutrition education intervention (NEI) that targeted at ncremental reduction of body weight and increased physical activity level among university students. Methods- Body weight and phys...
