Deaths due to stroke, diabetes higher in India than those in the Western countries, says report

According to a new analysis of UK-based academics, deaths from stroke are four times higher and compared to heart-related diseases compared to Western countries in India almost three times more.

According to a new analysis of UK-based academics, deaths from stroke are four times higher and compared to heart-related diseases compared to Western countries in India almost three times more. The statistics also showed that cervical cancer deaths were six times higher among Indians than their western counterparts. In India, diabetes-related mortality rate is also three times as compared to western countries.

Deaths due to stroke, diabetes higher in India than those in the Western countries, says report

This week's study published in the magazine 'Nature' found that cancer, heart disease and stroke are fatal in the developing world compared to rich countries. Prof. Majid said, "In India, the health care scheme should be radically changed for the prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of chronic diseases such as cancer, heart and kidney disease, and diabetes which is now the cause of deformity, death and economic losses in India. The most important reasons are. " Chief Writer of IZTI, an analysis of the School of Public Health in Imperial College London.

Research done by Professor Ijati and Dr. James Bennett has shown that deaths due to non-transitive diseases (NCD) are more in tropical countries than in the low and middle income countries. NCDs are diseases that can not communicate from one person to another, and include nervous conditions such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, kidney and liver diseases, mental health disorders, and dementia.

"The classic depiction of disease in poor countries is one of the infections and parasites and there are no conditions like cancer and cardiovascular disease, which are linked to the rich nations, however, this is not the case, and low-income countries compare the rich countries. There are more sufferers than older conditions, "said Professor Ijati. In addition to other findings, analysis showed that less and middle income than 61 deaths per 100,000 people in high income countries has at least 90 deaths per 100,000 people due to cardiovascular diseases in tropical countries.
Less than 49 per 100,000 people in lesser and middle-income countries than 22 per 100,000 in rich countries - Stroke deaths are also high.

Research also found that lower and middle income compared to Western countries was higher in tropical countries than the death rate of cervical, stomach and liver cancer. The team says that many of these were due to cancer bacteria or viruses. For example, almost all cases of cervical cancer were due to human papillomavirus.

Less and middle income compared to weaker countries, rates of diabetes were also lower in tropical countries, at least 32 people died, where 100,000 people died. The team analyzed the international mortality rate in western countries and compared it to the figures of low and middle income tropical countries which constitute about 80 countries from Africa, Southeast Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. Mortality rates were adjusted for age differences in different countries.

Researchers found that in 2016 these tropical areas were 25.3 million deaths, 34% of the infection and parasitic illnesses, pregnancy and conditions surrounding birth and lack of nutrients, while 55% were from NCD. In high-income western countries, 90 percent of all deaths occur in non-transitive diseases.

One of the reasons for high mortality due to chronic diseases in low-income countries is that they have more advanced stage and less effective treatment than high-income countries. One of the biggest killers in cardiovascular diseases, especially heart disease and stroke, low and middle income countries, was one of four out of four deaths due to these conditions.

Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, the study states that lower and middle-income countries have higher blood pressure compared to Western countries, with the highest levels of blood pressure found in sub-Saharan Africa. The team acknowledges that in some countries some countries have more robust data than others - still the overall picture is clear.

"The continuous large burden of the death of cancer and heart disease in developing countries is due to a series of factors - for example smoking and alcohol consumption is increasing in low and middle income countries, which will definitely play a role. This is ultimately a story of poverty, poor housing and nutrition, and insufficient health care means that diagnosis of diseases such as heart disease and cancer is done late, and

The team outlines 25 evidence-based recommendations to reduce non-transitive diseases in low and middle-income countries, including measures to reduce the consumption of alcohol and tobacco, better housing and early detection of disease in the disease. And there are more resources to treat it.
