World wide Non Communicable Diseases (NCDs) take an enormous toll on lives and health compared to communicable diseases. Cardio Vascular Diseases rank first among NCDs and contribute to 48 per cent of deaths throughout the world. The factors that increase people's risk of developing these diseases are increased levels of blood pressure, cholesterol, Body Mass Index (BMI) and blood sugar. An increase in body fat is generally associated with increased risk of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension and dyslipidemia.

The world's biggest challenge today emerges from four simple letters AIDS which stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. The rate at which humanity falls prey to this plague needs serious introspection from people of responsibility. Forty four million people in the world today live with HIV, which is more than double the number in 1993.- Book Review

Ageing is a normal process and not a disease. Ageing is the accumulation of changes that occur over a iifetime, resulting in an increasing acceptability to malnutrition and deaths. The absorption of minerals in ageing decreases due to morphological changes in the brush border membrane, diminisned secretion of digestive enzymes or metabolic alterations in nutrient transport mechanism. There are many minerals which are required in small quantities but they are very essential to maintain health status. Very few studies have been carried out towards this vein. Hence in the present study it was planned to evaluate the selected trace mineral content, calcium and magnesium of food consumed by the inmates of old age homes and also to estimate the selected trace minerals, calcium and magnesium content of blood, hair and nail samples of the selected elderly.- Book Review

Despite the fact that many a nutritional intervention efforts have been underway to wipe out malnutrition especially among the vulnerable groups, the number of chronically underfed children and other vulnerable groups still run to several millions. To meet their growing needs and to improve their nutritional lot is a tremendous challenge facing the nation. The solution does not call for any extraneous measures, but lies in the judicious use of locally available, less expensive resources to meet the local needs.- Nutritional Outcomes of a Rural Diet Supplemented with Low Cost Locally Available Foods.

Tribals in general are a segregated group of people living in isolation as a community and it is generally recognized that as a result of extreme poverty and pattern of living, intake of various essential constituents of food may be inadequate among the tribals of India. Today, many a measures are underway in bettering the lot of these communities Undoubtedly, self-reliance alone can bring in lasting measures in any developmental activity and this is especially true of tribals because inspite of all the invasions by outsiders in general they prefer to live and practice their own way of life. Food habits probably is the most difficult habit to change in any community and all the more so in a tribal set up.- Nutritional Outcomes of a Rural Diet Supplemented with Low Cost Locally Available Foods.

There is adequate emperical evidence to show that the health and nutritional status of the children during the earlier years of development will determine to a stable extent, the productivity, physical stamina and endurance in adult life.In this context, nutrition intervention programmes have become a compelling necessity under the goal of social justice to the weaker sections. One of the most effective means of combating malnutrition is to provide a nutritious meal or a balanced food supplement prepared with inexpensive local foods to the target groups to ensure their proper nourishment.- Nutritional Outcomes of a Rural Diet Supplemented with Low Cost Locally Available Foods-VI.

Nutrition is a prerequisite for optimal growth and development of children. A diet inadequate in quantity and qualitys a relevant factor affecting growth, health and development. Malnutrition at the community level is a man-made disorder characteristic of the under privileged segments of society.' While malnutrition affects the people of all ges, it is agreed that children in genera Ire the worst sufferers from its ravages It has been reported that 0.2 to 5.5 per cent of children suffer from severe forms of kwashiorkor and marasmus and 15 to 20 per cent suffer from severe growth retardation with 65 per cent as victims of mild to moderate malnutrition.- Nutritional Outcomes of a Rural Diet Supplemented with Low Cost Locally Available Foods - V.

The rapid rate of growth during infancy and early childhood including pre-school age, calls for intake of greater amounts of nutrients.

A great asset in our present nutritional situation is the remarkable ability of the poor Indian mother to undergo the period of great stress and strain of pregnancy where the woman has to meet the needs of the foetus and adjust herself to the changes occurring in her own system and later to breast feed her infant for prolonged periods, some times extending to nearly two years. But for this the picture regarding the nutritional status of our poor infants and children would be much worse than what it is today.- Nutritional Outcomes of a Rural Diet Supplemented with Lowcost Locally Available Foods - II.
