Abstract
This study aims to reveal the nature of the relationship between dietary behavior and daily activity with obesity in children with Down syndrome When looking for the causes of obesity in this category, we find that most of them are acquired from negative daily practices, because the "Down's Syndrome" patient shares with the community many nutrition problems, such as the frequent intake of simple starches and sugars, the lack of vegetables and fruit in daily food, and the frequent intake of fast food. If these dietary habits constitute a health risk to everyone, their risk is higher in the case of Down's syndrome, because this category has more preparedness for obesity than others. So and in order to do so, we used the descriptive method in the correlational method on a sample of 20 children with Down syndrome, and we used a set of scientific methods to collect data, namely the Inbody device and the BEBQ scale and NAP, and finally we reached a conclusion saying that there is a positive correlation between dietary behavior and obesity in children with Down syndrome.
