Deaths from non-communicable diseases (NCDs)<\/strong> such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and chronic respiratory illnesses<\/strong> have increased in India between 2010 and 2019, according to a study published in The Lancet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The trend contrasts with global declines in NCD mortality<\/strong>, highlighting growing health challenges in India.<\/p>\n

\n

Rising NCD Mortality in India<\/h2>\n

The study shows that the risk of dying from an NCD<\/strong> in India increased by:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    2.1% for women<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    0.1% for men<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Professor Majid Ezzati<\/strong> of London\u2019s Imperial College, lead author of the study, noted that women over 40 and men over 55<\/strong> face the highest mortality risk.<\/p>\n

    For Indian women, the probability of dying from an NCD before age 80<\/strong> rose from 46.6% in 2011 to 48.7% in 2019<\/strong>, reversing a slight decline observed in the previous decade.<\/p>\n

    Men saw a smaller increase, largely due to improved diagnosis and treatment<\/strong> for eight major causes of death, including ischemic heart disease<\/strong> and liver cirrhosis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Key Drivers of Increased NCD Deaths<\/h2>\n

    The study highlighted major contributors<\/strong> to the rise in NCD mortality:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      Ischemic heart disease<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Diabetes<\/strong>, including chronic kidney disease caused by diabetes<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      At the same time, India recorded reductions<\/strong> in deaths from:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • \n

        Liver cirrhosis<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Stomach cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), stroke<\/strong>, and other circulatory diseases (mainly among men)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        However, lung cancer mortality<\/strong> in India has increased<\/strong>, making the country one of only five globally<\/strong> showing rising deaths in this category. The other nations are Armenia, Iran, Egypt, and Papua New Guinea<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

        \n

        Global Context<\/h2>\n

        Across 185 countries<\/strong>, the study found:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • \n

          NCD mortality increased<\/strong> in 33 countries for women<\/strong> and 38 for men<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          NCD mortality decreased<\/strong> in 152 countries for men<\/strong> and 147 countries for women<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          The authors cautioned that their findings for India are subject to uncertainty<\/strong> due to low-quality data<\/strong>, urging careful interpretation.<\/p>\n

          \n

          Takeaways<\/h2>\n

          This study underscores the urgent need for strengthened public health measures<\/strong> in India to tackle chronic diseases<\/strong>. Key priorities include:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • \n

            Early diagnosis and treatment<\/strong> of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          • \n

            Awareness campaigns<\/strong> targeting high-risk populations<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          • \n

            Policy interventions<\/strong> to address lifestyle-related risk factors<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
