This study compares consumption patterns in India, different income groups, regions and sectors (rural/urban), with the reference diet highlights deviations. Methods analysis was done using data Consumption Expenditure Survey (CES) of a nationally representative sample 0.102 million households 7469 villages 5268 urban blocks...
Background Consumption of foods high in fat, sugar, and sodium (HFSS), obesity, are rapidly increasing India. Taxing HFSS has been proposed to promote healthier diets. This study estimates the effect this approach on nutrient intake, diet-related disease, associated health burden economic benefits. Methods findings We use nationally representative household expenditure survey data, dietary requirements, food composition tables model individual intake. Consumer responsiveness price changes...

Introduction: India has a high burden of uncontrolled hypertension (28%) with low control rates (<10%). Mean dietary sodium intake (4000mg/d) is also high, which warrants implementation population-level reduction interventions, such as using low-sodium iodized salt (LSIS). Given the awareness about LSIS, we co-created and evaluated an intervention to promote its usage. Objective: To estimate change from baseline end line in proportion households reporting LSIS use post (involving multiple...
Dietary sodium intake is high among adults in India. Use of low iodized salt (LSIS) can help reduce intake. However, contextually relevant and culturally appropriate interventions to promote LSIS uptake India have not been developed implemented. We carried out formative research inform an intervention rural urban households north (Sonipat district) south (Visakhapatnam Anakapalli districts) Sixty-two in-depth interviews six focus groups were held with a range stakeholders-consumers,...
