Local Community Environment Drive India’s Obesity Epidemic
The economics of quitting
BACKGROUND: Tobacco use imposes significant economic burden, particularly in low and middle-income countries, diverting household income from essential needs. This study estimates the potential economic uplift of Indian households through tobacco cessation, informing tobacco control and poverty alleviation policies aligned with SDG 1 (No Poverty) and SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being). METHODS: We analysed data from the National Sample Survey 202…
Transition of obesity in India, 2006–2021
INTRODUCTION: Obesity and its downstream non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the greatest health challenges of the 21st century, even in low-income and middle-income countries such as India. As traditional diseases of poverty wane, obesity and NCD burden rise. A crucial lens for understanding this transition is nation/state-wise 'economic gradient' of obesity. Therefore, we aimed to study the socioeconomic gradient of obesity and its changes (20…
Estimation of disease outbreak vulnerability index (Dovi) and resilience index (Dori) at household-level among states of India, (2019–21)
Adult children’s education and older parents’ cognitive health in India
The health and well-being of older parents, especially in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) like India, depend on adult children. As such, using the 2017–18 wave 1 of the Longitudinal Aging Study in India (LASI), we examined (1) the association between adult children’s education and older parents’ cognitive health in India; (2) the extent to which this association is mediated by (a) parents’ empowered status and (b) their active engagement;…
Determinants of initiation, continuation and cessation of smokeless tobacco use among pregnant and lactating women
Smokeless tobacco (SLT) consumption increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases and cancer and leads to adverse reproductive health outcomes among women and newborns. This study examines the factors associated with initiation, continuation and cessation of SLT use among women in the reproductive age so as to formulate and include prevention and cessation interventions from its inception. The study was conducted in urban low-income communities i…
Challenges in Accessing and Delivering Maternal and Child Health Services during the Covid-19 Pandemic
A holistic approach is required that focuses on both preparedness and response to the outbreak, as well reassignment and reinforcement of health care professionals to continue catering to and maintaining essential MCH services during the pandemic
Smokeless tobacco use and public health nutrition
Objective: Tobacco consumption among low- and middle-income countries where food insecurity remains a challenge poses several concerns. This review examines the available global evidence linking smokeless tobacco (SLT) use with public health nutrition and its implications. Design: Systematic review of articles extracted from PubMed and Scopus from January 2000 to December 2020. Setting: Included studies that demonstrated the relationship between …
Social desirability and under-reporting of smokeless tobacco use among reproductive age women
This study argues that the current survey estimates misconstrue the authentic prevalence of tobacco use among women in India, including pregnant and lactating women. Due to social desirability or the presence of a third person during the survey interview, those respondents who do not report their tobacco use status are also more likely to forego essential support for successful tobacco cessation. Survey methodology must be strengthened to avert t…
Mixed Effect of Alcohol, Smoking, and Smokeless Tobacco Use on Hypertension among Adult Population in India
Sporadic evidence is available on the association of consuming multiple substances with the risk of hypertension among adults in India where there is a substantial rise in cases. This study assesses the mutually exclusive and mixed consumption patterns of alcohol, tobacco smoking and smokeless tobacco use and their association with hypertension among the adult population in India. Nationally representative samples of men and women drawn from the …
Rising burden of overweight and obesity among Indian adults
With simultaneous efforts to address a huge burden of malnutrition, especially among children and younger women, India also encounters a mushrooming prevalence of overweight and obesity among the adult population. This study analysed data from two consecutive rounds of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) conducted in 2005–06 and 2015–16, to present the burden of overweight and obesity among adult men and women in India. The findings highligh…

Public health interventions to improve maternal nutrition during pregnancy
Objective: Despite a reduction in maternal mortality in recent years, a high rate of anaemia and other nutrient inadequacies during pregnancy pose a serious threat to mothers and their children in the Global South. Using the framework of the WHO–Commission on Social Determinants of Health, this study examines the socioeconomic, programmatic and contextual factors associated with the consumption of iron and folic acid (IFA) tablets/syrup for at le…
Social Network and Mental Health Among Older Adults in Rural Uttar Pradesh, India
Examining Inter-Generational Differentials in Maternal Health Care Service Utilization
This study examines the association between age cohort and utilization of maternal health care services in India, before and after adjusting for individual, household and contextual factors. Using data from the Demographic and Health Survey 2005–06, women were classified into three distinct age cohorts based on their age at childbirth: 15–24, 25–34 and 35–49 years. Binary logistic regression models were applied to assess the influence of women's …
Factors associated with maternal healthcare services utilization in nine high focus states in India
BACKGROUND: Studies have often ignored examining the role of community- and district-level factors in the utilization of maternity healthcare services, particularly in Indian contexts. The Social Determinants of Health framework emphasizes the role of governance and government policies, the measures for which are rarely incorporated in single-level individual analysis. This study examines factors associated with maternal healthcare utilization in…
