Background Primary school teachers play a critical role as educators in imparting healthy eating behaviour and the importance of physical activity to prevent health issues. However, teachers’ behaviors have not been studied much, particularly Saudi Arabia. Understanding these factors is essential developing interventions that enhance well-being their ability influence students positively. This study aims assess nutritional knowledge activity; determine correlations between Body Mass Index (BMI), evaluate BMI status concerning demographic among primary Asir Region, KSA. Methods A cross-sectional design was employed, involving 370 teachers. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaire covered sociodemographic details, anthropometric measurements, levels, knowledge. Statistical analyses included Pearson’s correlation Chi-square tests, with significance at p < 0.05. Results Among participants, 38.6% overweight, 33.5% obese, 76% married classified overweight or obese. Only 9.0% exhibited excellent knowledge, while 25.0% demonstrated poor The majority (84.0%) engaged low minimal activity. weak but significant observed (p 0.05), whereas no associations found levels either Conclusion highlights gaps teachers, emphasizing need for targeted school-based education programs. Improving teacher could enable them act positive models students.
