| Popis: | This study examined whether the distribution of biochemical, physiological, and metabolic risk factors for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) among children and youth in urban India vary by socioeconomic status (SES). Data were derived from a cross-sectional survey of students enrolled in the 2nd and 11th grades in 19 randomly selected schools in Delhi (N = 1329) in 2014–15. Mixed-effect regression models were used to determine the prevalence of risk factors for NCDs among private (higher SES) and government (lower SES) school students. After adjusting for age, gender, and grade we found the percentage of overweight (13.16% vs. 3.1%, p value Highlights • The prevalence of NCD risk factors is on the rise among children in India. • SES differences in NCD risk factor distribution were studied in Delhi children. • Private school students (high SES) experienced higher NCD risk vs. Govt. schools. • Overweight/obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia were higher in private schoolers. • Tailored, school-based health promotion interventions are needed in India. |
