“…In cognizant of the rising burden, several key policies and programs have been adopted in the country since the last decade. About thirteen national programs that directly or indirectly contribute towards prevention and control of NCDs have been rolled out during this period, with NPCDCS as the central to the NCD activities in the country [ 55 ]. In 2013, India became the first country to adopt the Global monitoring framework for major NCDs and has set a target of 25% relative reduction in premature NCDs deaths by 2025 [ 4 ].…”

“…The ten targets and 21 indicators outlined in the National NCD monitoring framework provided the necessary direction to devise strategies to tackle the rising NCDs and its risk factors in the country [ 56 ]. However, the country is facing major challenges in the progress towards achieving the targets such as inadequate resources (manpower, financial and technical constrains) and lack of political commitment causing ineffective implementation of various program activities across the states [ 55 ].…”

Introduction Rapid urbanization and industrialization drives the rising burden of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) worldwide that are characterized by uptake of unhealthy lifestyle such as tobacco and alcohol use, physical inactivity and unhealthy diet. In India, the prevalence of various NCDs and its risk factors shows wide variations across geographic regions necessitating region-specific evidence for population-based prevention and control of NCDs. Objective To estimate the prevalence of behavioral and biological risk factors of NCDs among adult population (18–69 years) in the Puducherry district located in Southern part of India. Methodology We surveyed adults using the World Health Organization (WHO) prescribed STEPwise approach to NCD surveillance (STEPS) during February 2019 to February 2020. A total of 2560 individuals were selected from urban and rural areas (50 clusters in each) through multi-stage cluster random sampling method. STEPS instrument was used to assess behavioral and physical measurements. Fasting blood sample was collected to estimate biochemical risk factors (Diabetes, Hypercholesterolemia) of NCDs. Results Among men, alcohol use 40.4% (95% CI: 37.4–43.4) was almost twice higher compared to tobacco use 24.4% (95% CI: 21.7–26.9). Nearly half of the population was physically inactive 45.8% (95% CI: 43.8–47.8) and obese 46.1% (95% CI: 44–48.1). Hypertension and diabetes mellitus were present among one-third 33.6% (95% CI: 31.6–35.5) and one-fourth 26.7% (95% CI: 24.1–29.1) of the population which were significantly higher among men (37.1% vs 30.8% and 31.6% vs 23.2% respectively). Physical inactivity and overweight/obesity increased with increasing education levels. Tobacco and alcohol use was more common among men, whereas physical inactivity with obesity and hypercholesterolemia was higher among women. Conclusion We found high prevalence of various NCDs and its risk factors among the adult population of Puducherry district.

“…Some scholars have pointed out that elderly patients with chronic diseases will suffer psychological burden due to the continuous economic expenditure brought by chronic diseases (17,18). Therefore, chronic diseases have become an important factor affecting the health-related quality of life of most elderly people (19)(20)(21).…”

Objective: The economic support of elderly patients with chronic diseases may affect their health status. This study assessed the impact of economic support on the health status of elderly patients with chronic diseases in China and explored the relationship between regional economic differences and the impact of economic support on health status.Methods: This study used the data of 3,416 elderly patients with chronic diseases from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) in 2018. Logit model and stepwise regression method were used to analyze and compare the influence of economic support on self-rated health, mental health, and activities of daily living (ADL) of elderly patients with chronic diseases. Sub-regional comparison was used for the research of regional differences in the impact of economic support on health.Results: we find that economic support has a positive effect on the health status of elderly patients with chronic diseases in China. Socioeconomic support has a positive effect on self-rated health and mental health of elderly patients with chronic diseases, and the effect on activities of daily living (ADL) is no longer significant after the gradual inclusion of control variables. Family economic support has no significant impact on the health dimensions of elderly patients with chronic diseases. With respect to regional differences, socioeconomic support can improve mental health in central China and improve self-rated health in western China, while it can improve overall health status in eastern China. The influence of family economic support on different health dimensions in different regions is still insignificant.Conclusions: The health status of elderly patients with chronic diseases is affected by socioeconomic support in China. In order to improve the health of elderly patients with chronic diseases, it is necessary to increase socioeconomic support. Meanwhile, it is also essential to pay attention to the differences in economic support between different regions and increase the socioeconomic support for elderly patients with chronic diseases in undeveloped regions so as to improve their health status.

“…This rehabilitation process in India is always dependant on several external factors like knowledge of the existence of a mode of therapy, financial strength, availability of health care professionals, referral mechanism, adherence and motivation towards rehabilitation, and trust in available health care professionals [28] . Within the last decade, the government has mainstreamed rehab professionals in health care services to avail the facility with zero out-ofpocket expenditure [29] . Previously only physiotherapists were appointed in government facilities, but nowadays, more emphasis is given to the quality of life, and occupational therapists are also appointed.…”

Background: Stroke is one of the significant public health challenges and one of the critical causes of disability. It has been forecasted that globally age group 6o and above will outnumber children under age 14 in 2047. With the increasing rate of survival, the burden of stroke is going to increase continuously. Currently, old age people suffer from stroke, which limits their activities of daily living. This study explores the determinants of stroke survivors seeking rehabilitation services and the factors affecting them.Methods: In this study, first wave of Longitudinal aging study in India (LASI) data has been used. The data was collected from all the States and Union Territories across India in 2017-2018. A total number of 72,265 individuals (45 years and above) participated in this study. Subjects who have been ever diagnosed with stroke by any health care professionals were considered as the study population. Subjects were categorized into two groups based on accessing rehabilitation services. For the data analysis, survey-weighted tools have been applied for descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression model. The data analysis used R version 4 using R studio. Results and Discussion:The prevalence of stroke is 1.8% in India. Nearly 40% of them visited Physical therapy or Occupational therapy services for their rehabilitation. Household economical condition, gender, residence, requirement of additional help for daily activities and availability of health insurance are strongly determining visiting rehabilitation services. The summary of this will help to develop our understanding of, why people are not availing of rehabilitation services despite having multiple problems.
