“…Another small study 44 conducted among 106 elderly residents (≥ 60 years) from central India reported a prevalence of 40% in the seventh and eighth decade and slightly higher (46%) prevalence in elderly ≥ 80 years of age. Both the above studies 29 , 44 reported a higher prevalence in women than men.…”

“…Prevalence studies conducted exclusively among the elderly population (> 60 years) are restricted. A study 29 among urban-dwelling elderly participants aged 60 years and above ( n = 295) from central India revealed a prevalence of 34.58%. Another small study 44 conducted among 106 elderly residents (≥ 60 years) from central India reported a prevalence of 40% in the seventh and eighth decade and slightly higher (46%) prevalence in elderly ≥ 80 years of age.…”

“…Studies from different parts of India like Karnataka [175], Andhra Pradesh [176,177], Maharastra [178], Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Chattisgarh [179], Tamil Nādu [180,181] all reported that the health care infrastructure in these states was very poor. An expert committee report has recommended to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare as well as to the Ministry of Tribal Affairs to develop policies and programmes for providing preventive, promotive, curative and rehabilitative services in health subcentres in tribal areas.…”

As India is a country in epidemiological transition, the indigenous populations agonise from a dual burden of illnesses, including undernutrition, infectious diseases and lifestyle-related issues like hypertension, obesity and diabetes. Few concrete efforts have been made to understand these emerging public health problems with emphasis on the indigenous populations living in this country. This review paper focuses on the epidemiological transition, prevalence of communicable and non-communicable diseases, nutritional status, dual burden of malnutrition and the availability, acceptability and accessibility of the health care services among the tribal communities with special emphasis on the Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) of Odisha. This study is based on the review of published articles in different online databases using search engines like Google Scholar, Pub Med, INFLIBNET, JSTOR. A total of 195 articles published during the period from 1956 to 2022 were reviewed. The review is focussed on the indigenous populations living in the Indian state of Odisha. Migration and urbanization are the leading causes of epidemiological transition among them. The health scenario in terms of nutritional status, disease burden and availability of health care facilities of Odisha was found to be far behind the national average. Compared to other groups, the situation of the PVTGs of this state is the worst. The review suggests more action-oriented ground level research with targeted goals that would address the health needs of the indigenous populations at a micro level.

This review was done to determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) among adult general population in India. We also wanted to find the gender, setting, and regionwide distribution of MS in India. Methods We conducted systematic searches in various databases including Medline, ScienceDirect, Cochrane library and Google Scholar from inception until August 2019. We included studies conducted in India reporting the prevalence of MS among adults aged 18 years or more. We used the Newcastle Ottawa scale to assess the quality of included studies. We carried out a meta-analysis with random-effects model and reported pooled prevalence with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). We used the Funnel plot to assess publication biases. Results In total, we analysed 113 data from 111 studies with 133,926 participants. Majority of the included studies (76 out of 111) had low risk of bias. We found significant heterogeneity among the included studies (p<0.001). We also found a symmetrical funnel plot indicating an absence of publication bias. The prevalence of MS among adult population in India was 30% (95%CI: 28%-33%). There was a steady increase in the burden across the age groups from 13% (18-29 years group) to 50% (50-59 years). We also found that people living in urban areas (32%; 95%CI: 29%-36%) had higher prevalence when compared to tribal (28%; 95%CI: 21%-36%) or rural adults (22%; 95%CI: 20%-25%). Gender distribution of MS showed that the females had higher prevalence (35%; 95%CI: 31%-38%) when compared to males 26% (95%CI: 22%-29%). Conclusion Almost one in three adults in India suffer from MS. Females, people living in urban areas and in northeast region had higher prevalence of MS. Development and implementation of
