“…Obese individuals were more likely to have hypertension and diabetes mellitus compared with their counterparts. This finding was similar with previous study findings [47,48]. This might be due to the fact that obese people have excessive secretion of nonesterified fatty acids from adipose tissue which cause insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction.…”

“…The likelihood of having NCDs was higher among individuals who did low level of physical activity compared with their counterparts. This finding was in line with the study findings in Dabat, Ethiopia,[31], Jos, Nigeria [13] and India [47]. Low level of physical activity increase an overall positive energy balance, which directly contributes for the development of NCDs.…”

Background In Ethiopia, the incidence and prevalence of noncommunicable diseases are rising. Within the country, the magnitude of these diseases varies from region to region. However, information about factors associated with noncommunicable disease is limited in the study area. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify factors associated with noncommunicable disease among adults in Mecha district. Methods Community-based case-control study was carried out among 728 cases and 2907 controls from February1-August 30/2017. The study participants were chosen using a multi-stage sampling technique. Data were collected using structured questionnaire. Fasting blood glucose level was measured in the morning after 8hours of fasting. Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20 software was used to enter and analyze data. Crude and adjusted Odds ratios were done for each explanatory variable at 95% confidence level. Results The likelihood of developing noncommunicable disease was higher among participants who drank alcohol [AOR = 1.72, 95% CI: (1.3, 2.1)] and coffee [AOR = 4.54, 95% CI: (3.4, 5.9)], did not take vegetables [AOR = 2. 30, 95% CI: (1.6, 3.1)] and fruits [AOR = 2.04, 95% CI: (1.4, 2.9)], took packed oil [AOR = 2.35, 95% CI: (1.7, 3.1)], overweight or obesity [AOR = 2.23, 95% CI: (1.3, 3.8)] and physically inactive [AOR = 1.71, 95% CI: (1.2, 2.4)]. Conclusion Of those assessed, the main factors associated with noncommunicable disease were drinking alcohol and coffee, not taking vegetables and fruits, taking packed oil, being overweight and physically inactive. Thus, the finding suggests changing the dietary habit of the community to increase consumption of fruits and vegetables, use of unsaturated fat for cooking, to avoid consumption of alcohol and to decrease taking coffee, to do physical activity and weight reduction.

“…The rate of current tobacco use among this tribal population was 81.5%; higher than the reported figures for the rural (24.3%), urban (22.6%) and even the slum population (37.3%) in Kerala 9 . The overall rate of tobacco smoking (37.9%) and smoking rate among men (69.1%) were higher than the corresponding rates of (22.6%) and (47.9%) in the tribal district of Kinnaur of Himachal Pradesh 18 . As in the general population, smoking was more among men than women.…”

Background & objective Noncommunicable Disease (NCD) risk factors are on the rise and often linked to the adoption of modern lifestyles. This study explores NCD risk factors in a rapidly modernising indigenous population in Kerala, the Kani tribe. Methods A representative sample of 298 adults of the Kani tribe in Thiruvananthapuram district was studied using the WHO stepwise framework for surveillance of NCD risk factors. Descriptive, bivariate and multivariable analysis were done using the R statistical package. Results Prevalence of hypertension (48.3%), use of tobacco (81.5%) and alcohol consumption (36.2%) were found to be higher in the Kani tribe compared to the general population in Kerala. Abdominal obesity (22.1%) is found to be higher in Kani tribes compared to other tribal groups in India. The physical inactivity level (9.7%) was similar to urban Kerala and higher than many other tribes in India. Hypertension was scientifically associated (p < 0.05) with higher age, male sex, low education levels, and tobacco intake among them. On multivariable analysis, age and alcohol consumption were found to be the prominent risk factors for hypertension and high education level was found to be a protective factor. Conclusion The major modifiable NCD risk factors were found to be higher among the people of the Kani tribe compared to the general population in Kerala. Physical inactivity level was comparable to urban Kerala, and obesity rates were higher than many other tribal communities in India. The findings warrants targeted action in these vulnerable communities for effective control of the noncommunicable epidemic.

Introduction: Changing lifestyle in the present era is engulfing the youth in risky behavioural practises prepondering themselves to the morbidities once thought of old age.Tobacco intake is one of these risk factors. The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence and pattern of tobacco use among young adults (15 to 24 years) attending a tertiary care centre of Central India. Methods: One to one interview was conducted with the participants who consented. Tobacco use was categorised as ever used, current use or never used.Results: A total of 954 participated in the study with a mean age of about 19 years. About 30% of the participants had ever used any tobacco product while 16% were current users, initiating it at around 12-13 years of age. Use was higher among males while females were exclusively using smokeless tobacco products. Among smoked form cigarette (64%) is the most consumed product while hooka is the least (7%). Kharra is the most commonly used smokeless tobacco product. Conclusion:Use of tobacco products among youth is rising and becoming a major public health concern. The habit of tobacco use starts usually from the initial years of adulthood, targeted efforts must be directed towards our youth so as to avert them.
