Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
In developing countries an increasing burden of Non- communicable diseases (NCDs) threatens to overwhelm already stretched health services. India being a country of about 1.3 billion population, contributes to more than 2/3rd of the total deaths due to NCDs in the South-East Asia Region (SEAR) of WHO. An essential preventive strategy is targeting the risk factors for non-communicable diseases hence, this study is conducted to find various NCD risk factors such as unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity, use of tobacco and alcohol and to determine the effect of dietary factors and exercise on non-communicable disease and the relation between various addictions and the occurrence of non-communicable disease in central India. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted from July to December 2017 using 300 subjects between 18 to 65 years of age visiting OPD of a tertiary care hospital,were enrolled in study using a convinence sampling. Information regarding socio-demographic variables, and behavioural risk factors, i.e. tobacco use, alcohol use, physical inactivity, diet and related factors were collected using a pre tested, structured questionnaire. Result: Statistically significant association between consumption of fruits and vegetable less than 3 times per week and consumption of high salt containing food and Junk food likely to exhibit NCDs. Consumption of fruits and vegetable more than 3 times per week and regular exercise during leisure time shows protective effect against DM, HTN and IHD. All females had abnormally high waist circumference and differ significantly when compared with males. Presence of NCDs and gender were significantly associated . Males were more likely to have DM and HTN than female. Conclusion: Dietary habits and behavior of individuals are important factors in the patterns of risk factors for non-communicable diseases. So successful efforts to reduce smoking, alcohol consumption and, more recently, trans-fat and salt consumption should be taken.
