  • Dietary patterns and non-communicable disease risk in Indian adults

    Open AccessEdward J M Joy, Rosemary Green et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2017

    Objective Undernutrition and non-communicable disease (NCD) are important public health issues in India, yet their relationship with dietary patterns is poorly understood. The current study identified distinct dietary patterns and their association with micronutrient undernutrition (Ca, Fe, Zn) and NCD risk factors (underweight, obesity, waist:hip ratio, hypertension, total:HDL cholesterol, diabetes). Design Data were from the cross-sectional Ind…

  • Legume consumption and its association with fasting glucose, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes in the Indian Migration Study

    Open AccessPreet K Dhillon, Liza Bowen et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2016

    Objective Legume consumption is associated with lower fasting glucose (FG) and insulin levels in nutrition trials and lower CVD mortality in large-scale epidemiological studies. In India, legumes are widely consumed in various preparations, yet no epidemiological study has evaluated the association of legumes with FG levels, insulin resistance and diabetes risk. The present study aimed to fill this gap. Design Fasting blood samples, in-person int…

  • Associations between diet, physical activity and body fat distribution

    Open AccessLiza Bowen, Amy E Taylor et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    In this Indian population, there was an inverse association between PA and body fat. Associations between body fat and dietary variables differed between the younger APCAPS population and older IMS population. Further longitudinal research is needed to elucidate causality and directions of these associations across the life course

  • Dietary patterns in India and their association with obesity and central obesity

    Open AccessAmbika Satija, Frank B Hu et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2015

    Objective Obesity is a growing problem in India, the dietary determinants of which have been studied using an ‘individual food/nutrient’ approach. Examining dietary patterns may provide more coherent findings, but few studies in developing countries have adopted this approach. The present study aimed to identify dietary patterns in an Indian population and assess their relationship with anthropometric risk factors. Design FFQ data from the cross-…

  • The Effect of Rural-to-Urban Migration on Obesity and Diabetes in India

    Open AccessShah Ebrahim, Sanjay Kinra et al.ARTICLEPLoS Medicine2010

    BACKGROUND: Migration from rural areas of India contributes to urbanisation and may increase the risk of obesity and diabetes. We tested the hypotheses that rural-to-urban migrants have a higher prevalence of obesity and diabetes than rural nonmigrants, that migrants would have an intermediate prevalence of obesity and diabetes compared with life-long urban and rural dwellers, and that longer time since migration would be associated with a higher…

  • Effects of migration on food consumption patterns in a sample of Indian factory workers and their families

    Open AccessDheeraj Bansal, Ambika Satija et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2010

    Objectives To study the impact of migration on food consumption among Indian factory workers and their siblings and spouses. Design A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess diet using an interviewer-administered semi-quantitative FFQ from which intake of 184 commonly consumed food items was obtained. Settings Participants recruited from factory sites in Bangalore, Lucknow, Nagpur and Hyderabad. Subjects The sample comprised 7049 participan…
