Abstract

Overweight and obesity in childhood presents many threats in terms of negative health consequences as well as psychosocial difficulties. Formative childhood years are crucial for the development of health behaviors and health outcomes that continue through adulthood. I am pleased to present you with the plan for solving the problem of childhood obesity. This entire study was conducted in Indore city and samples were also collected through random purposive sampling method from Indore itself. This research will help you to solve the main root behind the development of contributing factors of obesity. The research study done on “The Impact of Nutritional Education on Parental Weight, Activity & Cardiovascular Risk Factors While Treating Childhood Obesity” reveals that; On comparing the impact of nutritional education on nutritional status of both parents and children, while treating childhood obesity, it was found that nutritional education had a significant impact on improving the nutritional status of experimental groups parents (P<0.05) and children (P<0.05) in comparison to their control group counter parts (P>0.05). Similar results were obtained when impact of nutritional education on life style pattern and health status of both parents and children, while treating childhood obesity, it was found that nutritional education had a significant impact on improving the life style pattern of experimental groups parents (P<0.05) and children (P<0.05) in comparison to their control group counter parts (P>0.05). All the three null hypothesis were rejected in this study and the entire alternative hypothesis were accepted that “there is a significant impact of nutritional education on nutritional status, life style pattern and health status” of parents and children of experimental groups.
