Beyond Boundaries: A Comprehensive Review of Anthropometric Indices in Urban and Rural India.
Curēus 2024 Februrary
This comprehensive review examines anthropometric indices in the context of urban and rural India, shedding light on the dynamic interplay between lifestyle, socio-economic factors, and environmental influences on health outcomes. Analyzing indicators such as Body Mass Index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), the study reveals distinct disparities between urban and rural populations. While rural areas face the challenges of undernutrition and stunting, urban environments grapple with the escalating prevalence of obesity and non-communicable diseases. The implications for public health underscore the need for tailored interventions, encompassing nutritional education, equitable healthcare access, and lifestyle interventions. The call-to-action advocates for collaborative efforts among policymakers, healthcare professionals, researchers, and communities to implement evidence-based strategies, advocate for policy reforms, and continually monitor anthropometric trends. This review serves as a roadmap for fostering healthier communities in India by addressing anthropometric disparities and steering toward a more equitable and sustainable future.
