Abstract

The Global Burden of Diseases Study 2019 reportsthatmetabolic abnormalities and highBMI since childhood are the primary reasonsfor the increasing burden of Non-CommunicableDiseases(NCDs)in India. Popularly, these conditions are associated with consumption and lifestyle patternssuch ashigh fat, energy-dense foods, sedentary lifestyle,stress, etc. So, the government is focused on preventing NCDs by promoting healthy diets and physical exercise. Public knowledge of the link between adverse in-utero environment and metabolic abnormalities during childhood, which impact the future health of an individual isunder-recognized. Given this background, this paperdiscusses the implications of adverse pregnancy or birth outcomes (such as low birth weight, premature deliveries,etc.) of an infant on its long-term health, thereby establishing that proper reproductive care can play an instrumental role in averting the risk of NCDs in the future.Essentially, this paperanalyses how prenatal, neo-natal and early childhood conditions play a preemptive role in the future incidence of NCDs and their management through appropriate policies that can aid in averting the risk of NCDs.
