“…Most of the tribal people were leading a physically active lifestyle and as the transport was very limited in most villages, they had to walk to every place for their occupation or any other work. So comparatively, obesity was less among these people in the remote areas and the prevalence of diabetes was also less compared to the general population [ 17 , 69 ].…”

“…Although several studies have examined the prevalence of hypertension (HTN) and Diabetes among tribal communities, data on the prevalence of these conditions among tribal and non-tribal communities residing in and around the forested area remains unavailable [6,[11][12][13][14][15]. Although several meta-analyses have been conducted on diabetes and hypertension among tribal populations, none have been conducted using a systematic sampling effort among tribal populations in southern Karnataka [15][16][17][18]. In this study, researchers working on improving tribal health collaborated with a national initiative to establish Multi-Disciplinary Research Units in Government Medical colleges to improve evidence-based action on tribal health concerning NCDs [19,20].…”

While NCDs are in rise globally, tribal and rural populations residing near to reserve forests with limited exposure to modern lifestyles may bear a unique burden. This study investigates the prevalence and risk factors of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia among these communities. We conducted a cross-sectional study between 2018 and 2020 in the forest-dwelling population of Chamarajanagar, India. Using multistage stratified sampling based on caste and remoteness, we enrolled 608 participants aged over 18 years, including 259 non-tribal and 349 tribal individuals. Data collection includes the administration of STEPS questionnaire and measurement of fasting blood sugar, lipid levels, and blood pressure. The prevalence of diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia were 4.6%, 28.8%, and 85.7%, respectively, among the study population. We also found abnormal levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), Triglycerides (TGA), Total cholesterol (TC), and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL)in 4.9%, 82.4%, 22.7%, 5.8%, and 7.4% of participants, respectively. Significant differences were observed in diabetes, LDL abnormality, TGA abnormality, VLDL abnormality, and TC abnormality, but not in hypertension, dyslipidemia, or HDL abnormality, across the Socio Geographic Discrimination Index. We found a significant difference in diabetes and HDL abnormality, but not in hypertension, dyslipidemia, LDL abnormality, TGA abnormality, TC abnormality, or VLDL abnormality, between tribal and non-tribal populations living in the forest-dwelling area. Waist circumference was a significant independent predictor of diabetes among tribal participants, while wealth index, age, and waist circumference were significant predictors of hypertension. There were no significant predictors for dyslipidemia among tribal participants. Our study suggests that tribal population living in a remote area are at a lower risk of developing diabetes compared to non-tribal populations living in the same geographic area. However, the prevalence of hypertension and dyslipidemia among tribal populations remains high and comparable to that of the general population.

“…Several studies in the literature advocate the prevalence of the disease, and recently, through meta-analysis, it was reviewed that like the urban population, even the tribal population is getting affected by life style diseases. [ 48 ] Also, an association incidence of diabetes was established with cold temperature residence. [ 49 ]…”

A BSTRACT Objective: India has a tribal population of 8.6%. Health concerns of the high-altitude tribal population in India play a vital role in overall socio-economic development and health transformation of the country. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the current health problems among the tribal population of Lahaul and Spiti district of Himachal Pradesh. Material and Methods: The study area encompasses one regional hospital (RH) in Keylong (the district headquarters), three community health centers (CHCs), and 16 primary health care centers (PHCs). In addition, the district has 37 sub-centers (SCs) and 21 Ayurveda dispensaries to serve the district. The data for this study were gathered over a 4-year period from records of daily out-patient department registration from the various health centers (RH, CHCs, and PHCs) from 2017 to 2020. Results: In terms of communicable diseases, the population in the concerned region was more likely to have acute respiratory infection, enteric fever, tuberculosis, and typhoid. Hypertension, asthma, bronchitis, and diabetes mellitus type II were determined to be the most common non-communicable diseases. Conclusion: Acute respiratory disease, hypertension, diarrhea, accidental injuries, and eye problems were shown to be prevalent in the study area. The population’s position in relation to these five diseases indicates the community’s sensitivity to a variety of common conditions. There is a need to review the needs and priorities of the concerned population and create goals and targets to meet those needs using validated public health measures.

Cardiovascular health (CVH) is a critical issue for global health. However, no previous study has determined the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors based on the American Heart Association’s (AHA) Life’s Essential 8 (LE8). Therefore, we aimed to estimate the global prevalence of the eight cardiovascular risk factors identified in the LE8. A systematic search of systematic reviews with meta-analysis on cardiovascular risk factors covering data reported between 2000 and 2019 was conducted on PubMed, Epistemonikos, and the Cochrane Library until 1 May 2023. After applying exclusion criteria, 79 studies remained in the final selection for the narrative synthesis in the systematic review, of which 33 of them were used in the meta-analysis which included 2 555 639 participants from 104 countries. The overall pooled prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors was as follows: insufficient physical activity, 26.3% (95% CI 2.3%–63.4%), no adherence to a healthy diet, 34.1% (95% CI 5.8%–71.2%), nicotine exposure, 15.4% (95% CI 10.4%–21.2%), insufficient sleep quality, 38.5% (95% CI 14.0%–66.7%), obesity, 17.3% (95% CI 6.1%–32.6%), dyslipidemia, 34.1% (95% CI 33.8%–34.4%), diabetes, 12.0% (95% CI 7.0%–18.2%), and hypertension, 29.4% (95% CI 23.3%–35.8%). These results warrant prevention strategies aimed at reducing insufficient sleep quality, and no adherence to a healthy diet as leading cardiovascular risk factors worldwide. The high prevalence of hypertension among children and adults is concerning and should also be adequately addressed through global policies.
