“…In our study, 36.7% of study participants belonged to age group 30-39years and this finding was opposite to study conducted by Kaur MP et.al. 8 where 41% of the respondents were more than equal to 50 years similar to findings of Kalidoss VK et.al 10 and Choudhary N et.al 9 where majority participants from age group above 50 years,71% and 64.66 % respectively. This may be because as most individuals > 50yrs from surveyed population of our study were already diagnosed case of NCDs hence were excluded from the study.…”

“…The first validity study of a community-based assessment checklist as a comprehensive approach for assessing NCD risk in rural areas was conducted by Choudhary N et.al. 9 Our study found the overall risk of common NCDs was 60.9% with cbac score ≥ 4 while 39.1% had score <4. The risk of common NCDs was 61.2% in rural area which was higher than in study by Kaur MP et.al.…”

“…In the present study higher percent 203 (54%) of study participants never used tobacco were found, this may be due to majority participants were females 52% out of these 50 % females were lifetime abstainers and only 12(10.81%) females had past history of tobacco use whereas 8(8.08%) of female respondents had daily tobacco use this finding was similar with Choudhary N et.al. 9 where tobacco consumption was 10.5% and less than that found in the study conducted by Kalidoss VK et.al. 10 where 12% of participants used tobacco daily while tobacco use was found higher in study by Maimela E et.al.…”

NCDs are leading cause of premature deaths worldwide. Global trends suggest that these diseases to a large extent are associated with life styles like- unhealthy dietary intake, physical inactivity, tobacco use, high alcohol consumption and are on the rise. CBAC (Community Based Assessment Checklist) is a simple means of early identifying risk of NCDs in the community. There is a paucity of published literature using CBAC as screening tool. Hence this community based study was undertaken among adult population of area adopted by urban and rural health care training centre of IGGMC, Nagpur to assess the risk of NCDs and serve as a tool for early diagnosis and treatment.To assess the risk of Non Communicable Diseases using Community Based Assessment Checklist among adult population of area adopted by urban and rural health training centre, IGGMC, Nagpur. To study the risk of NCDs with place of residence and suggest recommendations based on the study findings. A cross sectional community based study was conducted among 376 adults residing in the field practice area of Urban and Rural Health care Training Centre of IGGMC, Nagpur. Data was collected by conducting face to face interview with structured questionnaire which included socio-demographic variable and CBAC questionnaire. Study was conducted from January to May 2022 by using consecutive sampling till sample size was achieved.Overall risk of NCD was found to be 60.9%. The risk of NCD was 61.2% among rural adults while it was 60.6% among urban adults of adopted field practice area of IGGMC, Nagpur. The risk of NCD was found to be significantly associated with Age (p= 0.000), Gender (p=0.000), tobacco use (p=0.000), alcohol consumption (p= 0.000), Waist circumference (p=0.000) and family history of hypertension, Diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular illnesses (p=0.000). There was no significant association found between risk of NCDs and CBAC variables by place of residence except for waist circumference (p = 0.03) Overall most CBAC variables were found to have significant association with NCDs risk however no significant difference was observed between CBAC variables and place of residence.

Context: Adult population visiting COVID vaccination center is a potential teachable moment for screening and preventive advice on non-communicable diseases. Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the proportion of vaccinees volunteering for screening and to know the proportion of newly detected hypertensives and diabetics among the screened vaccinees at COVID-19 vaccination center. Setting and Design: This descriptive, cross-sectional, operational research study was carried out at the COVID vaccination center at a medical college in central Gujarat from July to September 2021. Methods: After receiving the vaccine, the vaccinee was offered screening through a community-based assessment checklist for risk factors of non-communicable diseases, blood pressure, and blood sugar measurement. Those volunteering for this screening received a slip mentioning their risk score, blood pressure and blood sugar reading, and relevant health information and disease prevention advice. The study variables were acceptability (proportion of vaccinees volunteering for screening) and yield (newly detected hypertensives and diabetics among those screened). Results: Among vaccinees, 27.7% volunteered for risk scoring and blood pressure measurement, whereas 8.3% volunteered for blood sugar measurement. Around 15.5% of vaccinees had high-risk scores as per the community-based assessment checklist. The yield of freshly detected high blood pressure and high blood sugar was 19.3% and 10.5%, respectively. The yield was similar even among vaccinees under 30 years of age. Conclusions: Vaccinees demonstrated interest in undergoing screening for non-communicable diseases. Yield indicates that such screening is worth the effort.

Background: Noncommunicable diseases (NCD) are the leading cause of death in India, with cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in particular accounting for nearly 1 in 3 deaths. The prevention of key CVD risk factors – namely, diabetes and hypertension – is a public health priority. Objectives: The objective is to describe the results of large-scale, community-based NCD screening using the Government of India's Community Based Assessment Checklist (CBAC) scoring system. Materials and Methods: Trained enumerators visited each household in 10 villages in Punjab, India, between September 2019 and March 2020. Standardized methods were used to measure blood pressure, blood glucose, waist circumference, family medical history, and lifestyle behaviors. Results: A total of 11,322 adults (52.1% women; mean age 48.3 years) completed the assessment and 14.4% were classified as high-risk (CBAC >4). Those classified as high-risk were significantly more likely to have hypertension (46.0% vs. 20.6% among low-risk, P < 0.0001) and diabetes (12.0% vs. 7.7%, P < 0.0001). Only 26.8% of those with hypertension were diagnosed and only 14.9% treated. Proportions among those with diabetes were similarly low: 29.2% diagnosed and 16.0% treated. Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to estimate the prevalence of high-risk CBAC scores in a population-based sample. Given that the Government of India aims to undertake population-based screening of all adults >30 years for NCDs, the results of this study are directly translatable.
