Nutritional knowledge, attitudes about non communicable Diseases and their determinants among adults aged 19-64 Years in gesha woreda, kaffa zone, south west ethiopia, 2025

Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a leading cause of global mortality, with a disproportionately high burden in low- and middle-income countries such as Ethiopia. Unhealthy dietary practices are a major modifiable risk factor driving the NCD epidemic. Although nutritional knowledge and attitudes are key determinants of dietary behavior, their status among rural Ethiopian populations remains largely unexplored
