The establishment of a healthy eating culture during childhood is the most effective intervention for preventing the onset of chronic metabolic and cardiovascular diseases in adulthood. This article presents a cross-sectional observational study conducted at the Department of Hygiene and Ecology of Andijan State Medical Institute. Utilizing the IMRAD framework, the research investigates the distinct and combined influences of parental dietary literacy and teacher-led nutritional interventions on the eating behaviors and body mass indices of 150 primary school children in the Fergana Valley. The findings demonstrate that while the home environment establishes baseline dietary preferences, the active reinforcement of nutritional hygiene by teachers significantly curtails the consumption of ultra-processed foods during school hours. The study concludes that an integrated pedagogical and medical approach, effectively uniting parents and educators, is essential to halt the progression of early metabolic dysregulation and protect the long-term physiological health of the younger generation.
