About
In simple terms, our research project aims to understand why certain chronic diseases, known as non-communicable diseases (NCDs), are becoming more common in younger people. In the past, these diseases were mostly seen in older adults, but now we're seeing them in younger age groups. We're interested in how factors like a person's economic status, education, job, lifestyle choices (like smoking and exercise), and the environment (like air pollution) might contribute to this trend. Our goal is to deeply analyze how these factors might cause these diseases to appear earlier or later in someone's life. We'll look at a lot of data from different groups of people to see how these factors are related to the likelihood of getting an NCD, how common these diseases are, and how often they cause death. The project will last for three years. During this period, we will examine many aspects, including their income, job, education, and healthcare situation. We will also investigate their lifestyle, such as smoking habits, alcohol consumption, dietary habits, and the amount of exercise they get. Additionally, we will explore environmental factors, such as the quality of air and water and the impact of green space. By the end of the study, we hope to have a better understanding of why these chronic diseases are affecting more young people. Our findings will help us come up with better ways to prevent and manage these diseases. We aim to provide recommendations that are specifically tailored to different age groups, taking into account all these different factors. This work could have a big impact on public health, helping us to develop strategies that effectively tackle the rise of NCDs in younger populations.1 Publication
