Summary:While unhealthy diet, tobacco, alcohol, and sedentary lifestyle are known determinants of NCDs,[1] a meta-analysis suggests social isolation as a risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke. Improving population health in a vast and diverse country like India requires reliable and state level estimates of disease trends and risk factors.

Data integration and creation of large social, environmental, and clinical data sets will increasingly play an important role of surveillance and monitoring as well as health technology assessment (HTA) in India.
