CONCLUSION TO ISA PROJECT DEFEAT
DIABETES
“Diabetes, being a lifestyle disorder with
multidimensional causative factors, definitely
needs a multidimensional approach,”
“High BMI was the most important risk factor
contributing to diabetes in India, suggesting
that targeting overweight might offer the best
results in slowing down the rising trend in
diabetes across India. The prevalence of
overweight adults aged 20 years or older in
India doubled from 1990 to 2016, with an
increase observed in every state of India.”
Exercise is key to a healthy lifestyle. If we target
young generation with information on the right
lifestyle options to help keep blood sugar, lipids
and blood pressure under control, we can
prevent at least a third of people from
developing diabetes.”
