Abstract
The burden of Non-Communicable Diseases(NCDs) is increasing worldwide largely due to prevalence of various risk factors, which can be controlled. Monitoring of these risk factors for NCDs over a period of time would be useful to make an indirect assessment of the actual disease burden. A cross-sectional survey was done among adults aged 25-65 years, to study the prevalence of anthropometric and behavioral risk factors of NCDs. Information was collected on the socio demographical factors, tobacco use, alcohol intake, diet, salt consumption, and physical activity, using a predesigned and pretested interview schedule. Anthropometric measurements were taken. A study found that 26% were consuming alcohol and 17% were smoking. A sedentary lifestyle was present among 19% of the men. Consumption of fruits and vegetables atleast 3 times a week was only 12%. Majority (77.5%) had a raised waist circumference, and more than two-thirds were either overweight or obese. More males were found to be overweight in comparison to females, but in contrast, obesity and raised waist circumference were more common in females. Tobacco use was more common in lower class, whereas obesity was commoner in the upper socioeconomic class. Most of the subjects were not aware of the risk factors leading to NCDs. Screening and IEC activities need to be strengthened and hence that diagnosis and preventive measures can be implemented at an early stage of life.Biography
