About this trial

The proposed research aims to assess how well a structured intervention is intended to reduce childhood obesity. The intervention addresses food and physical activity behaviors, important determinants of obesity, by concentrating on these elements. The goal of nutritional and physical education is to raise knowledge about the negative effects of obesity and encourage healthy eating habits in children and their caregivers.
