Knowledge, Attitude and Practices of Parents Towards Obesity in Children in Aseer Region, Southern of Saudi Arabia
Although parents in the Aseer Region demonstrated high awareness and favorable attitudes, their practices often failed to reflect this knowledge. These findings highlight the need for culturally tailored interventions that support parents in translating awareness into healthier behaviors for their children. Strategies should particularly focus on screen time management, mindful eating, and support for less-educated and non-working mothers.
