Prevalence and Correlates of Non-Communicable Diseases Among Young Populations: A Community-Based Cross-Sectional Study

Abstract

Background: Since non-communicable diseases (NCDs) account for more than 70% of fatalities worldwide, they have grown to be a serious public health concern. NCDs have historically been linked to elderly populations, but they are becoming more commonly impacting younger age groups, especially in low- and middle-income nations like India. The study aims to assess the prevalence of NCDs and their related risk factors among the young population.
