| Abstract | ||
| A high percentage of participants (92.7%) reported consuming sugar-sweetened beverages. Additionally, 62.8% believed that manufactured sugars are worse than sugar contained in SSBs, while only 28.9% demonstrated a good level of awareness. Moreover, 26.8% showed an acceptable level of knowledge, whereas 44.3% had a low level of awareness—highlighting the need to improve health awareness in this area. Furthermore, the study revealed that the overall knowledge level was insufficient to improve overall perception. The results did not show any statistically significant correlation between level of perception and specific demographic factors such as age group, gender, or place of residence.However, other demographic and social factors—such as educational level, socioeconomic status, and body mass index (BMI) categories—showed a statistically significant correlation (p < 0.001). | ||
