Description

Childhood obesity is a critical public health issue with long-term implications for physical and mental health. Schools play a pivotal role in shaping children's dietary habits and physical activity levels. This research focuses on school-based interventions aimed at preventing obesity among children and adolescents. Specifically, it examines the impact of school lunch and breakfast programs on obesity rates. By analyzing these programs, we aim to identify effective strategies for promoting healthy eating habits and preventing obesity in the school environment.
