Internet addiction (IA) among adolescents is increasingly problematic, impacting health and social interactions, with a study conducted in Malaysia revealing a prevalence rate of 29.0% among secondary school students.

The findings suggest the need for strategies that address unhealthy lifestyle choices in order to effectively raise awareness and prevent internet addiction among adolescents.
