印度在营养模式、流行病学和人口统计学方面正在经历多重转型。沿着令人震惊的儿童营养不良，社会各阶层慢性病及其风险因素，包括超重-肥胖症的迅速增加，加剧了印度的健康挑战。我们提出了一个概述的O-O方案（患病率，决定因素）和轮廓现有的举措，以解决这个可变的风险因素在印度。所有部门都必须给予紧急关注、承诺提供资源、提供政策支持和采取有针对性的行动，以消除营养不良的双重负担。除了在其他部门采取扶持行动外，还应调整和加强卫生系统，以解决预防和控制非传染性疾病及相关风险因素，如O-O。
India is experiencing multiple transitions with respect to nutrition patterns, epidemiology and demography. Along with staggering childhood undernutrition, a rapid rise in chronic diseases and their risk factors including overweight-obesity (O-O), among all sections of society, is compounding India's health challenges. We present an overview of the O-O scenario (prevalence, determinants) and profile existing initiatives to address this modifiable risk factor in India. Urgent attention from all sectors, committed resources, policy support and targeted actions are warranted to combat the dual burden of malnutrition. The health systems should be reoriented and strengthened, in addition to enabling actions in other sectors, to address prevention and control of non-communicable diseases and associated risk factors like O-O.
