Jakarta, IDN Times - The Jakarta Provincial Government promotes a healthy lifestyle for its civil servants (ASN) through the Jakarta BERJAGA (Moving, Working, Exercising, and Happy) program.
The screening results showed that 62.09 percent of civil servants (ASN) suffered from obesity. Details: Obesity I at 40.03 percent and Obesity II at 22.06 percent, according to the WHO classification for Asia-Pacific.
