Abstract
|
|
|
|
The advent of industrialization and outburst of urbanization significantly influences the lifestyle of people. Further, the incidence of noncommunicable diseases, such as chronic lung conditions, cancer, cardiovascular diseases (including conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels), diabetes, hypertension, and obesity, has increased. The prevalence of cardiovascular diseases in India in 2016 was reported to be 54.5 million. One out of four deaths was associated with cardiovascular diseases. With time, the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases is exerting more impact on the younger Indian population aged 20-29 years. The foremost risk factors for disability-adjusted life-years include poor dietary habits, tobacco use, and low physical activity. A healthy diet and an optimum physical activity level should be projected as primary interventions for noncommunicable diseases in the Indian subcontinent. Government health organizations and associations should concentrate and prioritize the current situation and scale up cost-effective policies and innovative techniques with interventional research and funding, especially on diet and exercise facilitation, as comprehensive management toward minimizing cardiovascular diseases to safeguard Indian economy’s future.
