Eating fried food and dishes like rice with pork can lead to heart disease and high blood pressure, Health Ministry spokesperson Dr Suphan Srithamma said.

A recent study of 825 people aged over 35 in Lampang, Phayao, Ubon Ratchathani, Chaiyaphum, Chai Nat, Pathum Thani, Chumphon, and Trang showed that 53 per cent were overweight, of which 46 per cent were women with abdominal fat and waistlines exceeding 80 centimetres.

Fifteen per cent of the men have waistlines exceeding 90 centimetres, while 30 per cent have a family member with high blood pressure.
