The association of air pollution with multiple adverse health outcomes is becoming well established, but its negative economic impact less appreciated. It important to elucidate this for the states India.
<h2>Summary</h2><h3>Background</h3> Malnutrition is a major contributor to disease burden in India. To inform subnational action, we aimed assess the due malnutrition and trends its indicators every state of India relation Indian global nutrition targets. <h3>Methods</h3> We analysed attributable child maternal malnutrition, from 1990 2017 using all accessible data multiple sources, as part Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2017. The states were categorised into...
Salt substitution (ie, replacement of table and cooking salt with potassium-enriched substitutes) is a promising strategy to reduce blood pressure prevent cardiovascular disease, particularly in countries like India where there high sodium intake, mainly from discretionary salt, low potassium intake. Life-threatening hyperkalemia increased intake postulated concern for individuals chronic kidney disease. We used comparative risk assessment models estimate the number (1) deaths averted due...
Abstract Background Food policies and environment (availability, accessibility, affordability, marketing) in around educational institutes can influence food choices behaviours of children adolescents.

The data collected students 253) 57), parents school 190), teachers 12, 9, canteen operators 10; 4). primary secondary to: 1) identify the...
Abstract Background The sale of aerated or sugar-sweetened beverages (ASBs) has been consistently growing in India which also experienced a major increase non-communicable diseases. This study estimates the price elasticities ASBs by different household-income groups and examine trends their affordability. Methods elasticity for were estimated using nationally representative household sample survey on consumption with Deaton’s method is robust to self-reported expenditure surveys. Trends...

Objectives: To estimate the overall health impact in India of nationwide salt substitution (i.e., replacement regular used at home for cooking or table with potassium-enriched reduced-sodium substitute). Methods: We a comparative risk assessment framework to 1) number cardiovascular disease (CVD) deaths averted due blood pressure reductions all adults, 2) potential hyperkalemia from increased potassium intake individuals advanced chronic kidney (CKD, estimated glomerular filtration rate...
Anemia is a public health problem in women of reproductive age many low- and medium-income countries including India. Maternal anemia can cause low birth weight, impaired fetal growth, preterm birth. We assessed the baseline prevalence anemia, iron deficiency (ID), (IDA), inflammation using c-reactive protein (CRP) among non-pregnant, non-lactating living Ambala District, Haryana, India prior to start wheat flour fortification program. conducted multistage cluster probability household...
In 2018, a wheat flour fortification program with iron, folic acid, and vitamin B12 fortificants was established within the government-run Public Distribution System (PDS) in Ambala District, Haryana, India to address micronutrient deficiencies. PDS provides basic food non-food commodities families below poverty level at subsidised prices. This study aims assess household fortified consumption among recipients. 2021, we conducted survey interviewed women aged 18–49 years (WRA) about of...
