“…14 Nearly every fourth and every second individual were taking alcohol and chewing tobacco (39.7%), similar results were found in a study done by Kumar et al in Narayanganj, who found that 29.3% of tribal population consume alcohol. 15 Another study among tribals done by Mishra et al found, 48.5% prevalence of tobacco chewing which was more as compared to this study. 16 Every tenth study subject was smoker, result were nearly similar to the study done by Hazarika et al, who reported 12.5% smokers in rural population of Assam.…”

Background: Hypertension is the most recognized modifiable risk factor of CVD, stroke and end stage renal disease and it is directly responsible for 57% of all stroke and 24% of all coronary heart disease related deaths in India. There is paucity of data on hypertension among tribal population. Addiction of Nicotine and some cultural practices like alcohol intake is common in tribal, which are the known risk factor for NCDs. Therefore, the study of health status of tribal communities related to hypertension, is highly desirable and essential. The objectives of the study were to determine the prevalence of hypertension and associate risk factors among non migratory tribal population. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted from March 2015 to February 2016 among 762 adults aged 20-65 years who were non migratory residents of Mawai block of Mandla districts, and they were selected through multi stage random sampling method. Results: Hypertension prevalence was 27.1% among study population. 82.2% study subjects had never undergone for blood pressure check-up. Prevalence was significantly associated with high age group. It was slightly more among the study subjects taking mixed diet than to pure vegetarian. Smoking and alcohol intake was found to be significantly associated with hypertension. It was more prevalent among mild and sedentary workers and association was significant with BMI ≥25. Conclusions: In the study every fourth study individual is Hypertensive, where smoking (in any form) and obesity was found as commonest risk factor for it.

“…The CTP Score included two continuous variables (bilirubin and albumin) and three discrete variables (ascites, encephalopathy and international normalised ratio). This score was divided into three classes: class A (5-6), class B (7-9) and class C (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15).…”

“…Evidence from India also supports a high prevalence of alcohol consumption among indigenous tribes, which is associated with a wide range of health problems, high morbidity and early mortality. [9][10][11] The data derived from National Family Health Survey suggest alcohol use among 26% of the indigenous population, while the rate was just 9% among the non-indigenous population. 10 Excess alcohol consumption has been implicated in up to 40% of cases of DCM.…”

ObjectiveAlcoholic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is a leading cause of non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in tribal and non-tribal population. However, no study has been done depicting the correlation between clinical profile and prognosis of ACM in tribal and non-tribal population. This study also defines the long-term outcome and prognostic markers of ACM.MethodsWe studied 290 patients with ACM who were evaluated in our institute between January 2013 and December 2016. The primary endpoint of the study was all-cause mortality. Statistical analysis was done by using Kaplan-Meier survival curves for the assessment of all-cause mortality and Cox regression for the assessment of risk factors.ResultsAfter a median follow-up period of 3.75 years (IQR: 3–4 years), 50 patients with ACM (37.3%) died among tribal population while 14 patients (9%) died among non-tribal population. Independent predictors of all-cause mortality in ACM identified by Cox regression were left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (HR: 0.883; 95% CI 0.783 to 0.996; p=0.043), QRS duration (HR: 1.010; 95% CI 1.007 to 1.017; p=0.005) and Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) Scoring (HR: 12.332; 95% CI 6.999 to 21.728; p<0.001) at admission. The Kaplan-Meier survival probability estimate was 95.1% at 1 year and all-cause mortality was found to be higher in patients with QRS>120 ms, LVEF ≤35%, CTP Grade B/C than patients with QRS≤120 ms, LVEF >35% and CTP Score A, respectively (log-rank χ²=55.088, p<0.001; log-rank χ²=32.953, p<0.001; log-rank χ²=139.764, p<0.001, respectively).ConclusionOur study indicated increased morbidity and mortality in tribal population. LVEF, QRS duration and CTP Scoring at the time of presentation were found to be the independent prognostic markers of patients with ACM.

“…For example, the debilitating social impact of alcoholism was highlighted in the Kolli Hills. While alcoholism has been identified as a public health issue in other parts of India (R. K. Kumar & Tiwari, 2016;World Health Organization, 2011b) and is particularly prevalent among ST communities (R. K. Kumar & Tiwari, 2016), no published reference exists on this issue in the Kolli Hills. There are both economic and moral incentives to address this issue, as it decreases productivity, impacts social dimensions and has a disproportionately negative impact on women (Barman, Bhattacharya, Lyngdoh, & Jamil, 2015;World Health Organization, 2011a).…”

India is home to the largest number of people living in poverty in the world. To inform poverty alleviation strategies, we sought local insights on wellbeing trajectories from three generations of respondents in three communities in the Western and Eastern Ghats.An integrated thematic analysis was carried out using qualitative information from focus group discussions (FGDs) and a survey instrument. Overall, we found most households had a positive perspective regarding their wellbeing over time; when divided into research locations, the Odisha site (Jeypore) was the most optimistic, the Kerala site (Wayanad) had no consensus position, and the Tamil Nadu site (Kolli Hills) was most pessimistic. Scheduled tribe (ST) and non-ST households were similar in their wellbeing perceptions despite the ongoing social and economic marginalization of ST households. Common negative events experienced were health (death or alcoholism) and climate disasters (drought or flooding), and common positive events were asset inheritance or government schemes. An important insight was changing importance of events between generations: elder generations valued labour migration, interim generations valued asset inheritance, and the current generation valued government schemes. We conclude that significant events play a major role in wellbeing perceptions among these communities, and understanding the evolving forms of significant events between generations can provide insights towards designing effective poverty alleviation strategies for the future.
