Abstract

The comparison between the current state of these lifestyle disorders and the prevalence of adult lifestyle diseases including diabetes and cancer in India, as reported by NFHS-4 and NFHS-5. Cancer is still the second greatest cause of death worldwide, despite recent advancements in technology and medicine. Northeast India has a greater cancer burden than the rest of the nation, according to a 2020 study released by the Indian National Cancer Registry. In India, an estimated 77 million individuals had diabetes in 2019, and by 2045, that number is expected to rise to over 134 million Program. In accordance with the 2020 WHO study, India had a 30% higher number of cancer-related fatalities (850,000 versus 610,000 deaths) while only reporting 1.32 million new instances of the disease, compared with 2.28 million in the United States of America. In the globe, cancer of the breast is among the most common carcinomas in women to be diagnosed, and it also ranks top in terms of cancer-related deaths. Around the world, the prevalence of cancer of the breast is steadily rising. The primary focus of this study is the high incidence of lifestyle illnesses in the adult Indian population, as measured by NFHS-4 and NFHS-5, including diabetes and cancer. Based on data from the NFHS-4 and NFHS-5 Survey, we discovered that there are growing trends in the percentage of mouth cancer among males (both urban and rural), whereas there are declining trends in the percentage of cervical, oral, and breast cancer in the case of women.
