                                Obesity is an increasing health problem where Malaysia is considered as the leading country with this problem in Asia region which may cause various health effect including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease, liver dysfunction, cancers, psychosocial problems, respiratory and musculoskeletal disorder especially in intellectual disability people. Thus, this Malay version of Nutrition and Activity Knowledge Scale (NAKS) is a very important scale that may help in assessing their knowledge in order to prevent this obesity problem from becoming worse. The aim of this study was to assess the validity and reliability of this version of NAKS among people with intellectual disability. A total sample of 180 respondents (96 male, 84 females) aged between 4 and 43 years old with mild to moderate intellectual disability was involved in the study. The questionnaire consists of 29 items answered on a multiple-choice format, assessing two knowledge dimensions related to the nutrition and physical activity. The internal consistency reliability was tested by using Kuder-Richardson 20. The result showed there was significant association between the items with the value of 0.78. The difficulty index values showed 27 items were considered as acceptable items whereas another 2 items were considered as poor items. Meanwhile, the discrimination index values indicated 17 items were excellent, 2 items were good, 6 items were acceptable and 4 items were poor. The questions should be removed if both difficulty and discrimination index values were classified as poor items. Otherwise, the options of the questions were suggested to be changed if either one of the difficulty and discrimination values was classified as poor item. As a conclusion, the Malay version of NAKS was valid and reliable to be used.
