Background: India is the home to almost half the tribal population of the world and is second to Africa in terms of tribal mass. Because of acculturation many of these tribal have come out and relocated themselves outside the forest. As a result, life style has been changed which resulted in development of non-communicable diseases. In this context this study was carried out to estimate the prevalence CVD risk factors and to predict the cardiovascular events among tribal population, utilizing WHO/ISH risk prediction chart. Methods: Community based cross sectional study done for a period of 3 months. Information regarding socio demographic profile and risk factors were collected. Anthropometric measurements, Blood pressure, Random capillary Blood glucose were recorded. WHO/ISH risk prediction chart for SEAR D was used to assess the CVD risk in next 10 year. Data was analysed used SPSS version 25. Results were expressed as percentage and mean. Chi square test was used to find out the association. Results: Among 120 study population, 33.3% belongs to the age group of 40-49 years, 55% were females, 59.2% belongs to nuclear family, 39.2% were unskilled and 62.5% were uneducated. Prevalence of CVD risk factors among were as follows: Tobacco consumption (25.8%), alcohol (16.7%), diabetes (3.33%), hypertension (48.3%) and obesity (19.2%). 62.5% population had less than 10% (mild) risk and 11.7% had ≥40% (high) risk of developing. Conclusion: Aggressive screening is needed as many were unaware about theirs NCD status.

“…In this study, only 11 per cent of the participants claimed to consume alcohol which is in contrast to other studies from Karnataka and Kerala reporting a higher proportion of their study population to be alcohol consumers (ranging from 25.9 to 36.2%) 17 , 18 and a Gujarat study reporting a much lower proportion (5.5%) 19 . Similarly, the prevalence of tobacco use was 48.7 per cent among our study population, while a much higher prevalence (81.5%) was reported by Sajeev and Soman in Kerala 18 and lower proportions were reported by other studies from Karnataka (smokers among men – 25.6%; tobacco chewers among women –24.8%) 17 and Gujarat (ever smokers – 38.5%) 19 . The higher prevalence of tobacco use in our study could be due to their low SES and lower literacy levels.…”

“…In the present study, 47.6 per cent of those aged ≥18 yr were underweight, which is similar to the reports of various tribal studies across India 3 . However, it was much lower (19.3%) in the tribal population from Bandipur 17 . The overall prevalence of anaemia was 35.2 per cent which is similar to the findings of surveys conducted among tribes in Madhya Pradesh (38.6%) 2 and Kerala (overall – 51%; males – 33.3%; females – 64.6%) 20 .…”

Background & objectives: Undertaking tribe-specific assessment of health status provides the required data for planning appropriate interventions. Hence, a study was conducted to assess the health profile of the Koraga tribe. Methods: This community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among a particularly vulnerable tribal group, the Koragas residing in the Udupi district. Data were collected using a pro forma and were analyzed using the SPSS software version 16.0. Results: A total of 273 participants aged ≥18 yr and 94 children aged ≤17 yr were recruited through screening and referral services organized in Koraga hamlets of the Udupi district. Among the adults, 59.7 per cent were females and their median age was 35 yr. About 13.9 per cent had elevated blood pressure and 18.4 per cent had impaired/elevated random blood sugar levels. About 47.6 per cent were underweight and 35.2 per cent were anaemic. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that individuals with morbidities were more likely to be aged ≥45 yr [45-60 yr: adjusted odds ratio (AOR)=4.3; 95 per cent confidence interval (CI)=1.3-13.8 and >60 yr: AOR=6.4; 95 per cent CI=1.7-23.7] and overweight or obese [23-24.9 kg/m 2 : AOR=8.1; 95% CI=1.3-48.2 and >25 kg/m 2 : AOR=7.9; 95% CI=1.6-38.4]. Of the 26 Koraga children aged ≤5 yr, 30.7 and 42.3 per cent had their height for age and weight for age below the third percentile, respectively. Further, 15.3 per cent of under-five children and 27.9 per cent of 6-17 yr old children were severely wasted. About 21.2 per cent of the children aged ≤17 yr were found to be anaemic and 56.3 per cent had symptoms of respiratory tract infection in the past 15 days. Interpretation & conclusions: Malnutrition was prevalent among Koraga adults and children, which warrants designing and implementing appropriate social and health interventions in this population.

Providing safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene (WaSH) in geographically isolated settings is a global public health priority. Prevalence of WaSH practices among mothers and diarrhoea among their children (birth to 59 months) was studied in nine randomly selected tribal villages of Mokhada in Palghar, Maharashtra, India. A community-based cross-sectional survey among 577 mother–child pairs was performed. Participants were recruited from the anganwadi list of enrolled children through household visits. WaSH index was used for assessing WaSH practices. Well was the major (47%) drinking water source. Almost 70% treated and covered the stored drinking water. Nearly 75% of the mothers used soap for washing hands before food and 35% after defecation. Open drains and open defecation were observed in 99% and 50% of households, respectively. The median score for drinking water index was 3 (interquartile range (IQR) = 2), personal hygiene index (PHI) was 2 (IQR = 2), household hygiene index (HHI) was 2 (IQR = 1) and composite index (CI) was 6 (IQR = 2). Prevalence of diarrhoea among children was found to be 33.4% and was significantly associated with poor HHI ( p = .007), PHI ( p < .001) and CI ( p < .001). Measures to provide basic WaSH resources combined with efforts to create awareness would ensure improved WaSH practices and prevent diarrhoea.
