Mar 22, 2022
New Delhi, Mar 22 (ANI): With an accelerated rise in the prevalence of non-communicable diseases (NCD) in India, Vitamin C has become one of the most needed nutrients to lead a healthy life. Cardiovascular diseases, cancer, respiratory diseases, and diabetes form the leading NCDs affecting Indians, associated with the highest mortality rates. Two-thirds of Indians affected by NCDs fall in the most productive age group (26 to 59 years), as per a 2021 ASSOCHAM report. Of these, diabetes and hypertension have particularly high associated burdens, with a prevalence of 2.9 per cent and 3.6 per cent respectively, across the country.
