1. ASSESS THE AWARENESS OF OVERWEIGHT
AND LEVEL OF LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION IN
PATIENT WITH NON COMMUNICABLE
DISEASE.

2. Chronic non-communicable diseases (NCD) are the major
reason for death, morbidity, loss of independency and public
health cost. NCD prevalence could be significantly reduced by
adopting a healthy lifestyle.
People of all age groups, regions and countries are affected
by NCDs. These conditions are often associated with older age
groups, but evidence shows that more than 15 million of all
deaths attributed to NCDs occur between the ages of 18 and
65 years. Of these "premature" deaths, 85% are estimated to
occur in low- and middle-income countries. Children, adults
and the elderly are all vulnerable to the risk factors contributing
to NCDs, whether from unhealthy diets, physical inactivity,
exposure to tobacco smoke or the harmful use of alcohol.
INTRODUCTION

3.  Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) kill 41 million people each year, equivalent to
71% of all deaths globally.[1]

Each year, more than 15 million people die from a NCD between the ages of 30
and
 69 years; 85% of these "premature" deaths occur in low- and middle-income
countries.[5]
 77% of all NCD deaths are in low- and middle-income countries.[16]
 Cardiovascular diseases account for most NCD deaths, or 17.9 million people
annually, followed by cancers (9.3 million), respiratory diseases (4.1 million), and
diabetes (1.5 million).[12]
 These four groups of diseases account for over 80% of all premature NCD
deaths.[13]
 Tobacco use, physical inactivity, the harmful use of alcohol and unhealthy diets all
increase the risk of dying from a NCD.[18]
 Detection, screening and treatment of NCDs, as well as palliative care, are key
components of the response to NCDs.[20]
BACK GROUND OF THE STUDY:-

4. OBJECTIVES
 To assess the awareness of overweight in patients with non
communicable disease.
 To assess the lifestyle modification in patients with non
communicable disease.
 To find out the association between overweight (BMI) and
lifestyle modification in patient with non communicable
disease.

6. DESCRIPTION OF TOOL:
 TOOL A
 Self structured questionnaire schedule
 It consists of demographic data. This tool
comprises of 9 items on socio-demographic profile.
Those are age, gender, educational status, marital
status, occupation, lifestyle, diagnosis, family
history, previous knowledge.

7. TOOL B
Standardized questionnaire schedule
Nutrition awareness tool is a standard tool, which was
first introduced in 2008 by Sonja M E van Dillen. It consists of
questions related to awareness of overweight. For each
question choose from the alternatives. Individual scores on
nutrition awareness scale can range from 1-3 with higher
scores indicating higher awareness.
 Score ranging ‘1’ would be considered low awareness.
 Score ranging ‘2’ would be considered moderate awareness.
 Score ranging ‘3’ would be considered highly aware.

8.  TOOL C
 Lifestyle modification scale is a standard tool, which was
introduced in 2018 by Indian Heart Journal by Tom
Devasia and Prasad Narayana Shetty. It consist of 2
points to assess the lifestyle modification of non-
communicable disease patient. The maximum score is 1
and minimum score is 0.
 High lifestyle modification score 1
 Low lifestyle modification score 0

16.  Similar study conducted by Fiona Irani on awareness of non-
communicable diseases in women: a cross-sectional study the overall
findings reveals that NCD awareness level was quite high, The mean
threshold for willing to adopt a healthier lifestyle was a roughly
calculated 37%.
 Our finding shows that the majority of study sample 79% have
moderate awareness and 17.4% sample have high awareness and
3.6% have low awareness, the majority of study sample 71.8% have
poor lifestyle and 28.2% sample have good lifestyle.
 NCD prevalence could be significantly reduced by adopting a healthy
lifestyle. Therefore, international public health care systems have
developed several strategies to help people transforming their
lifestyles.
