“…8 Given the sociocultural and dietary differences, more data is needed from the Asia-Pacific context. In addition, the NCD burden has exponentially increased in Asia-Pacific compared to other regions, 15 making it a priority to address since tertiary educational institutes are increasingly mobilized to promote healthy eating among young adults. 7 In addition, these university students are future leaders of the country who could possibly influence policies on health promotion.…”

Data are lacking on fruit and vegetable (FV) consumption among young adults in the Asia-Pacific region. The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of students who met the international and national recommendation of daily consumption of 5 and 4 FV servings, respectively, in a university in Singapore and the factors associated with meeting the national recommendation. A cross-sectional survey using proportional stratified random sampling was conducted on 884 undergraduates in 2013. The prevalence of meeting the international and national recommendation was 13.6% and 27.1%, respectively. The significant factors of meeting national recommendation were those from higher socioeconomic status, those making conscious effort to eat food high in fiber, those not skipping breakfast, those having a lower frequency of deep fried food consumption and those with higher meal frequency. Behavioral and structural interventions to educate, motivate and nudge university students to promote FV consumption are required in Singapore.

“…12,13 For example, in South East Asia's mega cities, poor traffic conditions lead to long travel times to and from work, which in turn leads to increased sitting and lack of opportunity to be physically active or to prepare fresh healthy food. 14 Accordingly, people eat more precooked or "fast" food, which increases their NCD risk.…”

Gender is an important determinant of health. We conducted a study to examine hypertension, obesity, hypercholesterolemia, and smoking behavior among adults aged >15 years in urban Indonesia. We compared the prevalence, predicted socioeconomic factors, the gender inequalities, and the contributing factors to the inequalities. Women had a higher risk of obesity and hypercholesterolemia and raised blood pressure in later life (P< .001). In contrast, men had a higher risk of being a current smoker and raised blood pressure at younger age (P< .001). The gender inequalities in hypertension, obesity, and hypercholesterolemia can be accounted for by disparities in socioeconomic factors between men and women, particularly involvement in paid work. However, the inequalities were also accounted for by different effects of the socioeconomic factors in men and women. Gender is interlinked with socioeconomic and biological factors in determining health. This emphasizes the need of gender responsive policies to control and prevent chronic disease.

“…In Southeast Asia T2DM likely stem from lifestyles marked by over-consumption, lack of physical activity, excess stress, overweight, and obesity. [6] It was reviewed that with the steady migration from rural to urban areas, ascend in socio-economic standard, and consequent changes in lifestyle are all upsetting the state of T2DM in India. [7] There are potential strategies to find out the possible risk for the T2DM and the purpose of which is to identify asymptomatic individuals.…”

Background: Throught the world, More than 75% of adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) live in low and middle-income countries. Amongst which 69.2 million of these adults live in India. Its been shown that, as level of physical activity increases, risk of developing T2DM decreases by 15-60%. Many studies are conducted to find the risk of development of T2DM in the coastal areas of Karnataka. However, the screening of people living in Udupi was not carried out.Aim: To find out the risk for the development of T2DM using IDRS and physical activity levels in Udupi population.Material and Methods: In the current study, we included participants who were asymptomatic and undiagnosed to be having T2DM. The participants age ranged between 30–65 yrs. Participants with the history of any neurological conditions and women who were pregnant at the time of screening were excluded. We recorded random blood glucose levels of the participants following which the risk score was obtained using the Indian Diabetes Risk Score (IDRS) and the participants were classified as high risk (score ≥60), moderate risk score (30–50) and low risk (score <30). The level of physical activity was measured using Global Physical Activity Questionnaire.Results: The study included 23,960 participants from Udupi district, Karnataka. Based on IDRS risk stratification, 1.5%, 17.9%, 27.5% of the participants with the age ange of 30–35 yrs, 36–50 yrs and more than 50 yrs respectively had higher risk of developing T2DM. According to GPAQ score 14% of the participants were following sedentary lifestyle, 27.6% of the were minimally active, 53.7% were very active, and 4.6% were highly active.Conclusion: From the current study we conclude that 46.9% of participants had a higher risk of developing T2DM in future who are living in Udupi district.
