dc.description.abstract | Obesity is one of the critical problems that threatens not only health, but the
economy at a global level. Among the factors associated with obesity is less than optimum
level of nutrition literacy. Nutrition literacy is more than just the food knowledge, it is a
combination of other essential factors that help individuals to maintain healthy a body size.
These factors include the selection and consumption of nutritious food; acquiring knowledge
and skills in the areas of meal planning and preparation; as well as using and knowing how to
read food labels correctly. | en_US |
