“…Linkages between lifestyle behaviours and socio-demographic characteristics had been studied previously mostly by analysing individual’s lifestyle health risk behaviours [ 22 – 26 ]. The only study for India which estimated the association between aggregation of health risk factors was based only on six selected states (Assam, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal) in the country and the results were generalized for India as a whole [ 27 ].…”

Introduction Individual’s early life style and health behaviors are directly linked to chronic non-communicable diseases. Considering the increased burden of NCDs during the last two decades, the aim of this study is to assess co-occurrence/clustering of lifestyle risk factors and its association with different socio-demographic and economic characteristics among adult men and women in India from 2005–2016. Methods This study utilized the data from the National Family Health Survey 2005–06 and 2015–16 survey rounds. Multinomial logistic regression is employed to evaluate co-occurrence of multiple risk factors among adult men and women of different socio-economic and demographic characteristics to identify the subgroups with elevated risk of clustering of multiple unhealthy lifestyle risk factors. Results More adult men in India tend to exhibit clustering of multiple non-communicable disease risk factors than females. Individuals between 30–49 years of age, residing in urban areas, the population with no education, separated couples and those from poor economic strata are the specific population subgroups show higher prevalence of co-occurrence of multiple risk factors. The regional pattern of clustering of risk factors shows that the prevalence of co-occurrence of multiple risk factors is higher among men and women from the North-Eastern part of India compared to the other regions of the country. Conclusion The prevalence of clustering of multiple risk factors associated with chronic NCDs is substantially high and has increased between 2005–06 to 2015–16. India may therefore experience a significant increase in the burden of chronic non-communicable diseases in the coming years. We therefore conclude that appropriate strategies should be implemented by policy makers and the government to reduce the overall health burden of NCDs due to lifestyle habits.

“…An unhealthy diet, inadequate physical activity, tobacco use, being overweight and obesity are the major risk factors for NCDs [ 5 ]. Adolescence (10 to 19 years of life) is a crucial period of transition to adulthood [ 6 ], and during this period, adolescents are exposed to various unhealthy behaviors [ 7 , 8 ], which often continue into adulthood [ 9 ]. In a study of 65 low, and middle-income countries from 2003–2011, it has been reported that the prevalence of adolescents consuming an insufficient amount of fruit and vegetable, having an inadequate level of physical activity, using tobacco, consuming alcohol, and being obese was 74.3%, 71.4%, 12.1%, 15.7%, and 7.1%, respectively [ 10 ].…”

Introduction: There has been a global rise in non-communicable diseases and a shift in trends from infectious to chronic lifestyle-related diseases, roots of which are behaviourally acquired and begin during adolescence. Adolescence constitutes a natural partner for their prevention. Objective: To determine the prevalence of risk factors for non-communicable diseases in the early adolescent age group using a global school-based health survey among students of Ujjain. Method: Crosssectional study was done for 24 months from August 2017 to August 2019 in schools of Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh. Sampling was done using a cluster sampling technique. Students who participated were administered a questionnaire based on the GLOBAL SCHOOL HEALTH SURVEY. Appropriate statistical methods were used to find the odds ratio for the prevalence of the risk factors and differences among sex, residence (urban or rural), and type of school (government or private). Result: This study documents that among 400 students lack exercise, consumption of junk food =44.5%, high alcohol consumption 16.8 %, smoking cigarettes was found to be prevalent risk factors of NCDs. There was a statistically significant difference noted among types of school, residence, and sex. Conclusion: This is the first study done in this region and emphasizes individual health interventions along with the implementation of national health policies targeting the adolescent age group to lower the financial and health care burden of the region.
