Abstract

Obesity in urban populations is a growing public health concern, influenced by various health management strategies and socioeconomic factors. Therefore, it is of interest to assess the health management strategies and socioeconomic factors contributing to obesity in urban populations. Data were collected from 150 participants through surveys and interviews, focusing on factors such as age, income, physical activity, healthcare access, and food availability. The findings revealed significant correlations between these factors and obesity rates, highlighting the importance of socioeconomic conditions in urban obesity. The study emphasizes the need for targeted interventions to address these contributing factors. These results provide valuable insights for developing effective obesity prevention and management strategies in urban areas. The advancement to knowledge in this study lies in identifying the socioeconomic factors and health management strategies that contribute to obesity in urban populations, providing insights for targeted interventions.
