Abstract

This dissertation investigates the prevalence and contributing factors of obesity among young children in Uzbekistan, aiming to address the critical issue of increasing obesity rates in this demographic. Employing a quantitative approach, the study analyzes body mass index (BMI) data alongside dietary habits, physical activity levels, and socioeconomic factors affecting children's health. The findings reveal a significant prevalence of obesity in young children, which is closely linked to poor nutrition, insufficient physical activity, and socioeconomic disparities. Notably, a substantial percentage of the population exhibited unhealthy dietary patterns and low engagement in physical exercise, underscoring the multifaceted nature of this public health challenge. The implications of this research are profound, as it highlights the urgent need for targeted interventions and policy reforms to promote healthier lifestyles and reduce obesity rates in Uzbekistan. By addressing the specific factors contributing to childhood obesity, this study underscores the importance of integrating nutrition education and physical activity programs within healthcare initiatives. Furthermore, the results contribute to the broader discourse on childhood health issues in developing countries, providing a framework for future research and intervention strategies aimed at ameliorating the obesity epidemic and fostering a healthier future generation.
