Background of the Study
Obesity has emerged as a major public health challenge worldwide, with significant contributions from poor dietary choices. Among these choices, sugary beverage consumption has been linked to obesity, as sugary drinks are high in calories and offer little nutritional value. In Katsina State, as in many other regions, the consumption of sugary beverages such as sodas, energy drinks, and sugary fruit juices is common, particularly among young adults and adolescents. The high sugar content in these beverages contributes to weight gain and increases the risk of obesity. Obesity, in turn, is associated with a variety of health complications, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and certain cancers. This study aims to examine the relationship between sugary beverage consumption and obesity in Katsina State, with a focus on understanding how these dietary patterns contribute to the obesity epidemic in the region.
Statement of the Problem
There is an increasing prevalence of obesity in Katsina State, and sugary beverage consumption is believed to be a significant factor contributing to this trend. However, there is limited research on the direct link between sugary beverage consumption and obesity in the state. Given the rising concerns about obesity-related health issues, it is crucial to explore the relationship between these two factors and provide evidence-based recommendations to address this public health issue. This study seeks to investigate the impact of sugary beverage consumption on obesity rates in Katsina State.
Objectives of the Study
- To assess the relationship between sugary beverage consumption and obesity in Katsina State.
- To identify demographic factors that influence sugary beverage consumption in Katsina State.
- To explore the health implications of sugary beverage consumption on obesity and related diseases in Katsina State.
Research Questions

Research Hypotheses
- There is a significant relationship between sugary beverage consumption and obesity in Katsina State.
- Demographic factors such as age, gender, and socio-economic status influence the consumption of sugary beverages in Katsina State.
- Sugary beverage consumption contributes to the increased prevalence of obesity and obesity-related health complications in Katsina State.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study will focus on individuals in Katsina State and examine their sugary beverage consumption patterns and corresponding obesity levels. Limitations may include the challenge of self-reported data, which may lead to bias in the consumption patterns, and the difficulty in controlling for other variables that may also influence obesity.
