Screening for Modifiable Risk Factors of Noncommunicable Diseases in Urban Young Adults, Indore, 2023–2024
Approximately 25% of the screened individuals were classified as underweight, while fewer than 25% were overweight. About 50% exhibit hypertension, with a higher prevalence in males. Individuals who have elevated blood pressure, serum creatinine, cholesterol, and SGPT levels exhibit an increased likelihood of tobacco consumption. We need to screen more young adults for modifiable risk factors and develop strategies to help them in mitigating these risks.
