Moreover, balanced diet really plays an important role in human’s body as all-inclusive<br>maturation potentiality, and good shape can be promoted. As we know, we are what we eat. This research was carried out<br>to determine the relationship between body mass index (BMI), eating pattern of pre-university students and their health<br>concern. All students from ASASIpintar have responded on a questionnaire created regarding the above matter and this<br>study lasts for 10 months. Students have filled in three sections which are demographic and anthropometric information,<br>health concern and eating pattern. The results showed that BMI did not affect students’ health concern. However, these<br>results suggested that BMI level had an effect on eating pattern. Specifically, it was suggested that when humans had a<br>healthy BMI, they had a less healthy eating pattern. When humans were overweight, they had a healthier eating pattern.<br>In conclusion, BMI must be healthy or overweight to to affect eating pattern while BMI did not affect students’ health<br>concern. Hence, one implication of the results obtained from the research is that the people start to realise that teenagers<br>who look healthy do not necessarily lead a healthy eating pattern. In the future, people would be more aware of their<br>eating pattern, improving their overall health by indulging in balanced diet. Furthermore, students and the people around<br>the world would also notice that healthy eating plays important role in shaping their own futures.</p>}, number={12}, journal={International Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities Invention}, author={Daud, N. and Heng, C.
