Epidemiological Survey of Moringa Oleifera Leaves in Bangladesh

Moringa oleifera is a nutrient-rich plant which is cultivated in different regions of Bangladesh. The plant has a number of medicinal as well as dietary benefits. In light of this information, an epidemiological survey has been conducted on 600 (six hundred) participants from the urban and semi-urban regions of Bogra regarding the general consumption of Moringa. The study found that women are more likely to consume it than men. On the other hand, people with lower education levels are more likely to consume moringa leaves. Due to a lack of awareness about the benefits of consuming different parts of moringa plant, some parts are completely ignored such as, flowers and bark. Thus, there has to be widespread educational campaigns to promote the use of moringa oleifera plant in daily life.
