Abstract
Health and wellness education are a key factor that influences health risks in individuals. This study examines children’s health knowledge, their diabetes profile, parental cholesterol, and blood pressure. Results indicate a significant negative correlation between the child’s health knowledge and diabetes profile, but not with parental cholesterol and blood pressure.
