“…Although CVD risk factors are widely prevalent in India, there are significant variations between and within different regions. Diabetes mellitus and obesity appear to be more prevalent in the southern states of India, whereas hypertension is found to be higher in the north-eastern states (Anjana et al, 2011, Siddiqui et al, 2015). Cardiovascular disease is twice as common among females with diabetes in comparison to those females who don’t have diabetes.…”

Overweight, obesity, hypertension, and diabetes increase the risk of non-communicable diseases and all-cause mortality worldwide. Previous studies have not determined the prevalence of these conditions/diseases throughout India. Therefore, this study was aimed to address this limitation. Data on these conditions/diseases among men and women aged ≥ 18 years were obtained from the fourth National Family Health Survey conducted throughout India between January 2015 and December 2016. The prevalence and prevalence rate per 100,000 population were calculated at the national level and by age group, sex, and type of residence for each state and union territory. The national prevalence of overweight, obesity, hypertension, and diabetes were 14.6%, 3.4%, 5.2%, and 7.1%, respectively. The highest prevalence of these conditions/diseases at the national level was seen among those aged 35–49 years (54 years for men), especially women living in urban areas. In India, 1 out of every 7, 29, 19, and 14 individuals at the national level had overweight, obesity, hypertension, and diabetes, respectively—between 2015 and 2016. These results are important for the healthcare system and government policies in the future. Moreover, targeted efforts are required to establish public health strategies for the prevention, management, and treatment of these conditions/diseases throughout India.

“…Further, the association of underweight was examined with three outcomes: self-rated health, cognition and quality of life. Previous literature from India among middle-aged and older populations demonstrates that underweight is concentrated in adults of low socioeconomic status [ 9 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 ] and rural residents [ 38 , 39 , 40 ]. Despite the fact that overweight and obesity are strong predictors of mortality in other parts of the world, in Asian countries such as India and China excess mortality owing to underweight is seen higher [ 25 , 41 , 42 , 43 ].…”

BackgroundUnderweight defined as body mass index (BMI) < 18.5 is associated with negative health and quality of life outcomes including mortality. Yet, little is known about the socioeconomic differentials in underweight and its association with health and well-being among older adults in India. This study examined the socioeconomic differentials in underweight among respondents aged ≥50 in India. Consequently, three outcomes of the association of underweight were studied. These are poor self-rated health, cognition and quality of life.MethodsCross-sectional data on 6,372 older adults derived from the first wave of the WHO’s Study on global AGEing and adult health (SAGE), a nationally representative survey conducted in six states of India during 2007–8, were used. Bivariate and multivariate regression analyses were applied to fulfil the objectives.ResultsThe overall prevalence of underweight was 38 percent in the study population. Further, socioeconomic status showed a significant and negative association with underweight. The association of underweight with poor self-rated health (OR = 1.60; p < .001), cognition (β = –0.95; p < .001) and quality of life (β = –1.90; p < .001) were remained statistically significant after adjusting for age, sex, place of residence, marital status, years of schooling, wealth quintile, sleep problems, chronic diseases, low back pain and state/province.ConclusionThe results indicated significant socioeconomic differentials in underweight and its association with poor self-rated health, cognition and quality of life outcomes. Interventions focussing on underweight older adults are important to enhance the overall wellbeing of the growing older population in India.
