• W2905331333 abstract "INTRODUCTION: NON COMMUNICABLE DISEASES: Increasing trends of non-communicable diseases is a worldwidephenomenon. Globally deaths from non-communicable diseases isexpected to climb to 49.7 million in 2020, an increase of 77% in absolutenumbers and increase in their share of the total from 55% in 1990 to 73%in 20208.Non communicable diseases are obesity, hypertension, myocardialinfarction, angina pectoris, stroke, type 2 diabetes mellitus. Among theseobesity is the most common non communicable disease in adolescents.Obesity in childhood is an important risk factor for obesity in adulthoodand up to 80% of them become obese adults. The National Health andNutrition Examination Survey (NHANES)IV, 1999-2002 documentsthat 16% of children are overweight and 31% are at risk for becomingoverweight representing a nearly 300% increase since the 1960s and a45% increase since the last complete NHANES survey for 1988-94. OBESITY: Overweight results from dysregulation of caloric intake and energyexpenditure. It is attributable to urbanization, high fat, high sugar containing junk food, technology based sedentary life style, increasingpurchasing power, lack of exercise, excessive TV/computer viewing etc. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the prevalence of lifestyle associated risk factors fornon-communicable diseases in apparently healthy adolescents in urbanschools in Coimbatore. SUMMARY: In this study titled “life style associated risk factors for noncommunicable diseases in adolescents”, 1760 urban school students ofCoimbatore in the age group of 11 to 17 years are evaluated for theprevalence of life style associated risk factors for non communicablediseases .There was a significant correlation between body mass index andfast food intake , physical activity.Based on results of this study, it can be concluded that bymodifying certain factors , such as fast food intake and physical activity ,we can bring about a significant reduction in the prevalence of adolescentobesity in our society. DISCUSSION: The present study was a cross sectional one focusing onrisk factors contributing to the development of non-communicablediseases particularly obesity, among students from urban schools inCoimbatore. This study definitely provides a pointer to the direction ofrising noncommunicable diseases and their risk factors in urbanpopulation.The present study indicates that overweight &obesity weremore common among vegetarians, which can be explained on the basisof the fact that most of the fast foods &junk foods are high calorie foodsof nonanimal origin.Regarding consumption of fastfood it appeared that childrenwith higher BMI were consuming more fastfood. (p<0.001). Fruits werebeing consumed on a regular basis by only 68.3% of the children. It didnot seem to contribute in anyway as a risk factor.Physical activity is decreasing among schoolchildren.Physical activity for more than 60 minutes daily & activeinvolvement in sports have shown to affect BMI. BMI is lesser amongphysically active children. Prevalence of Indoor activity is increasing in schoolchildren.They spent >60minutes/day in indoor activities like watchingTV, Computer games, Video games. Indoor activity seems to contributeas a risk factor for obesity. Family history of obesity has a positivecorrelation with BMI.The present study indicates that 3.6% students have smokedatleast once in their life. Smoking however did not appear to contributeto an increase in BMI. It was found that alcohol was consumed atleastonce by 2.7% of students. All were boys aged 14&more.Alcohol did notseem to contribute as a risk factor to developing obesity in our study. CONCLUSION: Risk factors contributing to the development of non-communicablediseases particularly obesity in adolescents are frequent fast food intake,low physical activity, poor sports involvement, high indoor activity.primary prevention of these disorders by risk factor education in thecommunity has better benefits compared to secondary prevention.Intervention is therefore, a necessary step at school level itself for theprevention of non-communicable diseases. This is an eye opener fordoing further studies in adolescent students." @default.
