Leo Club of University of Moratuwa has initiated a community-based health research project "Life in Balance" focusing on Preventive Healthcare. The aim is to analyze the relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI) and diabetes, one of the rapidly growing health problems in Sri Lanka.
The Health Screening and Data Collection Drive will be the first step in this initiative. The first screening and data collection took place on 29th July 2025 at the MOH Office, Walallawita, Kalutara. Community members were assessed for BMI, blood sugar levels and lifestyle factors. The results are expected to have valuable health implications and contribute to research.
In addition to screenings, Life in Balance also strives to increase awareness of healthy living habits. This includes promoting nutritious eating and encouraging regular physical activity. By educating people and prioritizing early detection, the project is taking a significant step toward a healthier community that is conscious of diabetes.
