Health literacy, particularly in relation to obesity, is a critical factor influencing weight management. Individuals with low health literacy may lack understanding about the causes, risks, and management strategies for obesity, leading to poor dietary choices and ineffective treatment. Increasing health literacy helps people make informed decisions about nutrition, exercise, and overall health. Programs focused on obesity health literacy aim to improve awareness of healthy behaviors, the impact of weight on health, and how to access appropriate resources. Enhancing literacy empowers individuals to take control of their weight and improve their long-term health outcomes.
