Queen’s researchers develop tool to tackle diet epidemic in India: Study

Kolkata, Jan 24 (UNI) Queen’s University Belfast, one of the leading Universities in UK and Ireland and a member of the prestigious Russell Group of UK research intensive universities have released a study to connect the dots between diet and disease in India.
More than 60 per cent of premature deaths can be attributed to preventable cardiovascular disease, obesity and type 2 diabetes, highlighting the pressing need for further research in this area. Researchers from Queen’s are developing a tool to capture data at a national level to enable healthcare professionals and policy makers to make informed decisions to tackle the epidemic.
India is one of a growing number of developing countries to experience the double burden of malnutrition, where high levels of under nutrition coexist alongside over-nutrition, obesity and type 2 diabetes. A disproportionately high number of premature deaths in India are caused by preventable diet-related disease. However, to date there is limited information on dietary intake among the Indian population.
