The study also found that children from disadvantaged communities had worse nutritional indicators than others.

Lifestyle-related diseases in an urban setting have become the norm.

Now a large-scale nutrition study involving almost 1.72 lakh subjects from 52,577 households across 16 Indian states has revealed that Kerala has the highest prevalence of hypertension as well as high cholesterol in urban men and women.

Not far behind is Puducherry that tops in the list of the highest prevalence of diabetes. The study also found that nutritional indicators of children in marginalised communities like SC and ST are much worse than children in other communities.

The survey was carried out by National Nutrition Monitoring Bureau (NNMB) during the year 2015-16. Its objective was to assess diet and nutritional status of urban population and the prevalence of obesity, hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidaemia among representative urban population. The study was done under the guidance of the Director, National Institute of Nutrition, Hyderabad and DG, Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), Delhi.

The concluding report, ‘Diet and Nutritional Status of Urban Population in India and Prevalence of Obesity, Hypertension, Diabetes and Hyperlipidaemia in Urban Men and Women’ brought to light telling statistics on the prevalence of stunting, undernutrition and obesity in children under 5 years of age.

The researchers used the method of a 24-hour dietary recall to collect food and nutrient information. They also interviewed 5,642 mothers, who have children of less than 36 months, for information on antenatal care and infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices.
