Opis

A Study to assess the knowledge and perception on obesity among female, using descriptive cross sectional research design. The present study exposes the lack of knowledge regarding obesity. However, perceptions of the participants were promising. This is because nearly all of them felt those who are not obese should be encouraged to maintain their weight and the overweight people should lose weight or be treated to achieve medical benefit. The obesity-related knowledge gap high lightened in this study should be therefore being aimed at strengthening obesity prevention among the young adults.
