Findings of the Study

Diabetes Prevalence

• Over a quarter of the population is either diabetic or prediabetic.
• 11.4% of India's population (101 million people) lives with diabetes.
• An additional 15.3% (136 million people) are in the prediabetic stage.
• Nearly half of prediabetics are likely to develop diabetes within five years.

Hypertension Prevalence

Obesity Prevalence

• BMI-based obesity: 28.6% of the population would be considered obese.
• Abdominal obesity: 39.5% of the population (351 million people) have abdominal obesity.

High Cholesterol Levels

The significant numbers of people living with diabetes, pre-diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and hypercholesterolemia in India are a major public health concern. These conditions increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and other chronic diseases.

Several factors contribute to the high prevalence of metabolic disorders in India, including:

• The increasing prevalence of obesity and overweight.
• The changing dietary patterns, with a shift towards more processed foods and less physical activity.
• The increasing prevalence of diabetes and hypertension in the Indian population.

The high prevalence of metabolic disorders in India has a significant economic and social burden. These conditions can lead to premature death, disability, and lost productivity. It is important to take steps to prevent and control metabolic disorders in India to improve the health of the population and reduce the economic burden of these conditions.

some of the steps that can be taken to prevent and control metabolic disorders in India:

• Promote healthy eating habits and physical activity.
• Provide screening and early treatment for diabetes, hypertension, and other chronic diseases.
• Educate the public about the risk factors for metabolic disorders.
• Develop and implement policies to support healthy lifestyles.

By taking these steps, we can help to reduce the prevalence of metabolic disorders in India and improve the health of the population.
