“…[15,18] On the other hand it was much higher as compared to the studies conducted in other parts of India. [13,14,[16][17][18]20] However, the study findings in context to smoking were comparable to other studies.

Introduction: Over past few decade morbidities and mortalities associated with NCDs (Non-Communicable Diseases) leads to a significant loss of productive life years both in developed and developing countries. Therefore, the present study was done to determine the prevalence of common risk factors for major NCDs in a rural population of Barabanki district in eastern Uttar Pradesh. Materials and Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted in Satrikh block of Barabanki district. Multistage sampling was used for enrolment of the study subjects. A totalof 1824 participants aged ≥25 years were enrolled in the study. WHO STEPs-wise tool was used to collect information on behavioural risk factors like tobacco use, diet, alcohol useand associated anthropometric indices were measured. Results: Prevalence of tobacco smoking, smokeless tobacco products use, alcohol consumption, less than five servings of fruits/vegetables, more than five grams of salt intake and overweight/obesity was found to be 26.2%, 27.08%, 24.1%, 91.61%, 10.9% and 34.86% respectively. Individuals with age more than 35 years, male subjects, illiterates and those who belonged to scheduled castes/ tribes were significantly (p<0.05) more predisposed to both smoked tobacco as well as smokeless tobacco use and alcohol consumption.Consumption of alcohol was significantly (p<0.05) higher among employed groups who belonged to upper and upper middle class while tobacco consumption was more prevalent in lower socioeconomic group. Consumption of salt more than 5 grams per day was significantly higher among individuals in elder age group (35-65 days), among females, those who were literate, those who belonged to other backward castes and among government employees. Conclusion: The study revealed high prevalence of non-communicable disease risk factors among adults. This indicates towards need of prompt community based preventive measures and control strategies to lower the forthcoming consequences of NCDs.

“…In our study with respect to CKD risk factors, we found that 184(15.3%) individuals had DM, with majority (20.4%) of them belonging to upper socioeconomic class. In the study by Venkatachalam et al in an area of rural Tamilnadu, out of the 8.6% diabetics, 10.6% respondents belonged to lower class compared to 6.4% and 3.9% in the upper and middle class respectively [10] .…”

Communicable Diseases which were the leading causs of mortality in the beginning of the twentieth century have now been replaced by Non-Communicable Diseases which account for almost two-thirds of all deaths presently in India. Considering the high prevalence of CKD risk factors it has long been presumed that CKD represents a major public health problem in our country. This study was conducted to determine the risk factors of CKD. Materials and Methods: A community based cross sectional study was conducted among the 1200 respondents, 20 years and above, residing in a coastal area of Villupuram district, over a period of 6 months (Feb-July) using a pre-structured and validated questionnaire. The questionnaire included information on demographic characteristics, lifestyle habits, and awareness of CKD risk factors. Random blood sugar and spot urinary protein and sugar using urinalysis dipsticks were measured. Data was analyzed using SPSS 16.0 version, p value <0.05 was considered significant. Results: Majority of the respondents were females (67.8%) with maximum belonging to the age group of 20-29yrs (23.8%), followed by 30-39yrs (22.8%).Most of them belonged to upper lower class (31.8%), followed by lower middle class (25.8%). 93.1% of the population were Muslims with 87.9% belonging to backward caste. The prevalence of CKD risk factors among the respondents were Proteinuria(12.5%), Glycosuria(8.4%), Hypertension (24.3%), Diabetes Mellitus(18%) and Obesity(44.4%). Conclusion: Prevalence of CKD risk factors in the study area was moderate to high. Hence, policies and programmes should focus on these areas and IEC should focus on creating awareness about CKD risk factors in the community.

Background: Obesity is a largely emerging multi-factorial non-communicable disease, which is caused due to accumulation of fat cells either by an increase in the size or number. World over, obesity has been proven to be the leading cause for several non-communicable diseases like diabetes, hypertension, cancer, etc. This study was done to evaluate the prevalence and risk factors of obesity in a rural population of Tamil Nadu.Methods: This cross sectional study was carried out among 600 adults residing in Sripuram, a rural field practice area of our medical college. Data was collected by systematic random sampling method, using a structured questionnaire, to assess the socio-demographic characteristics, anthropometry and physical examination findings. Body Mass Index was calculated and classified as per WHO classification for Asians. SPSS Software Version 17 was used to analyze the data.Results: Among the 600 total study subjects, 317 subjects (52.8%) were males and 283 subjects (47.2%) were females. The age distribution among the study population ranged between 20-60 years. Prevalence of overweight (BMI>23) was 25.3% and prevalence of obesity (BMI>25) was 25.5%. About 11.5% of the study subjects were underweight (BMI>18.5) and 37.7% of the study population had normal weight. Sibling obesity and presence of thyroid disorders were significantly associated with the risk of overweight and obesity.Conclusions: This study highlights the need for periodic screening to detect obesity at its incipient stages. It is pertinent that awareness is created periodically to modify the diet and lifestyle risk factors in order to prevent further complications of obesity.
