Many recent studies have shown that having poor nutrition can increase a person’s chance of becoming obese. A review of 60 meta-analysis has shown that dietary interventions and multi-component interventions targeting overweight and obesity appeared to have the greatest effects. This means that changes in an obese person’s diet and exercise have significant effects on their weight. This is important information, but it’s useless if we cannot educate people of the information. Studies were chosen that test how well computer-mediated interventions affect a person’s understanding of dietary behaviors. These studies showed 60% of students in school and 80% of students out of school showed significantly positive results in their obesity control after these computer-mediated interventions.
