The prevalence of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) is increasing universally at an alarming rate. NCDs are estimated to account for 60% of total deaths. Globally, type 2 diabetes mellitus is prevalent in epidemic proportions. According to International Diabetes Federation (IDF), 366 million adults were affected by the disease in 2011, and this figure is likely to escalate to 552 million by 2030. India, like many other developing countries, faces the triple burden of malnutrition from the persisting array of communicable diseases, lifestyle related NCDs and micronutrient deficiencies. This cuts across all age groups and socioeconomic strata.

Abstract


The prevalence of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) is increasing universally at an alarming rate. NCDs are estimated to account for 60% of total deaths. Globally, type 2 diabetes mellitus is prevalent in epidemic proportions. According to International Diabetes Federation (IDF), 366 million adults were affected by the disease in 2011, and this figure is likely to escalate to 552 million by 2030. India, like many other developing countries, faces the triple burden of malnutrition from the persisting array of communicable diseases, lifestyle related NCDs and micronutrient deficiencies. This cuts across all age groups and socioeconomic strata.
