“…However, Shivalliet al reported 30.5% and 27.3% rates of awareness among intermediate school students from Varanasi which is comparable to our study findings [15]. Similar findings were reported in study by Chaudhari et al which concluded that baseline knowledge of students regarding risk factors of hypertension was unsatisfactory [16]. Similarly, knowledge about risk factors of hypertension was present in only a third of the Thai students and lifestylerelated risk factors which were common to all cardiovascular diseases were not well known in the study by Lorgaet al [17].…”

Introduction: There has been a rapid rise in the prevalence of non communicable diseases. Still there is ignorance with regard to their prevention in the general population. Further the preventive measures are not covered in the school curriculum. Objective: The study was done to provide information about the effectiveness of community-based health education on non communicable diseases among intermediate college students. Methods: The cross sectional study was carried out at Government Intermediate College. A health education programme of the intermediate class students was conducted. The impact was evaluated by comparing the pre and post test proformas filled by 133 students. The proforma consisted of 16 questions related to different non communicable diseases. Care was being taken that the proformas were filled individually by students under the direct observation of the health educators. The proformas were then analysed using appropriate statistical techniques like percentage, paired t-test, chi-square test and p-value. Results: The 16 questions proforma was grouped 4 under categories. In pre test 35.5% correct answers were obtained which increased to 69.0% in the post test. (p = 0.0000). Significant improvement in knowledge was seen in all categories of questions which included Cardiovascular disease (p = 0.0000); hypertension (p = 0.0000); diabetes (p = 0.0000) and obesity (p = 0.0000). Conclusion:The findings of current study suggest that knowledge of students significantly improved after health education. Thus, health education programmes should regularly be conducted for improving the knowledge of students.

“…The awareness level of the study participants regarding NCDs and their risk factors was unsatisfactory. 11 Many studies have been conducted on students for awareness of NCDs from different parts of India and abroad. While comparability of these studies could obviously be limited (awareness has multiple determinants), some may be quoted for their scope.…”

Background: The prevalence of obesity has rising trends worldwide in almost every country in all the age groups. The objectives of the present study were to know the prevalence of obesity and overweight among students and to assess knowledge of these students regarding hazards of obesity and its preventive measures before and after educational interventional training.Methods: The present interventional study was undertaken during September 2016 to December 2017 in randomly selected 3 Government Arts Colleges of Patan, Ahmedabad and Vadodara city of Gujarat state, India. Total 313 students between the age group of 18 to 23 years were examined and body mass index were calculated. The prevalence of overweight and obesity were determined based on the International Obesity Task Force criteria. Single educational training for 45 minutes was given to the students and their post-intervention knowledge for same was assessed after the training. Thus collected data was analyzed using SPSS 17 (trial version).Results: Overall, the prevalence of obesity and overweight was 9.9% and 14.6% respectively. Baseline knowledge of the students regarding hazards of obesity like hypertension, cancer, myocardial infarction and diabetes mellitus was 19.5%, 18.8%, 17.3% and 16.6% respectively which was significantly increased to 91.4%, 94.2%, 96.2% and 96.8% respectively after the intervention. Baseline knowledge of the students regarding preventive measure of obesity like avoiding junk food/ healthy diet, exercise and meditation was 25.2%, 27.2% and 30.7% respectively which was significantly increased to 96.5%, 99.7 and 98.7% respectively after the intervention.Conclusions: Single educational session has increased the knowledge regarding hazards of obesity and its preventive measures among college students significantly.
