“…11 Kumar et al in rural Wardha found the overall prevalence of current smokers as 14.2% which was similar to our study. 12 Thakur et al in their study from Punjab reported the prevalence of current tobacco use (smoking as well as smokeless form) as 11.3% (95% CI: 9.3-13.3).…”

Background: Tobacco is the only legal drug that kills many of its users when used exactly as intended by manufacturers. WHO has estimated that tobacco use (smoking and smokeless) is currently responsible for the death of about six million people across the world each year. Although often associated with ill-health, disability and death from non-communicable chronic diseases, tobacco smoking is also associated with an increased risk of death from communicable diseases. This study was conducted with aim to observe the current pattern of tobacco use in a rural block of north India. Methods: The study was conducted in Lakhanmajra block (rural) of Haryana, India, in year 2015-2016 among 1000 study subjects aged 15-64 years selected by systematic random sampling technique. Results: The overall prevalence of current tobacco-smoking use to be 12.8% and it was higher among males (11.2%) as compared to females (3.2%). The median age for initiation of smoking tobacco was 18 years, smokeless tobacco was 20 years. Conclusions: Our study stresses is the need to have rural orientation in the National Tobacco Control Programme since the poorly educated individuals living in rural areas are at the maximum risk of using tobacco, identifying ways and means of reaching out to these communities will be critical to the success or failure of the program.

“…11 In our study, median age for initiation of smoking in males was found 16 However, Basu et al in West Bengal reported the median age for initiation of tobacco use as 16 and 18 years in males and females respectively, which was comparatively lower than our study. 17 This might be because of interstate differences in practice of this unhealthy habit.…”

“…It is a complex heterogeneous metabolic disorders characterised by both environment and genetic factors [1][2][3][4]. It is estimated that the prevalence of T2DM worldwide is around 6% and it is likely to rise many folds over next decade due to economic transition and increasing the age of population [5,6]. In recent time several candidate genes have been suggested for defects in insulin signalling pathways through genome-wide association study [7,8].…”

“…At present, India is the country with the 2nd highest number of T2DM patients, and the figure is expected to double by 2030 [4]. The incidence rate of T2DM cases is progressively increasing in rural parts of India, and the age at onset of T2DM is also reducing gradually [5,6] due to unhealthy lifestyles [7].…”

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a highly prevalent disease characterized by chronic hyperglycemia. Yoga is a form of mind-body intervention shown to have a positive impact on several health conditions in both healthy and diseased patients. The present study is intended to assess the effects of the Residential Integrated Yoga Program (RIYP) on blood glucose levels in patients with T2DM. Material and Methods: Data of 598 (186 females) T2DM patients from a holistic health center in Bengaluru, India, who attended a 15-day RIYP between January 2013 and December 2015 was obtained retrospectively. Average age of the participants was 56.45 ± 11.02 years. All subjects underwent a 15-day RIYP which involved yogabased lifestyle changes with components of regulated sleep, balanced diet, asanas, pranayama, relaxation techniques, meditations, yogic cleaning procedures, and tuning to the nature. Fasting and post-prandial blood sugar, medication score, symptom score, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, and respiratory rate were assessed before and after intervention. Result: There was a significant decrease in fasting (p < 0.001) and post-prandial blood sugar levels (p < 0.001) along with a significant reduction in medication and symptom scores after 15 days of RIYP compared to baseline. Conclusion: The present study indicates that 2 weeks of a yoga-based residential program improves blood glucose levels, blood pressure, and medication score in patients with T2DM. However, further randomized controlled studies need to be performed in order to confirm the present findings.
