🔴 High Alert for UPSC Mains 2025
#GS2 #Health #GS3 #EconomicDevelopment #mains2025

❓ Expected Mains Question (GS2 – Health):
“India faces a paradox of undernutrition and overnutrition. Discuss the causes and consequences of rising overnutrition in urban India and evaluate policy responses.” (15 marks)

🔍 Why This is HIGHLY Probable (2025 relevance):

📈 Urban Overnutrition Crisis
– Hyderabad IT Sector Study: 84% had fatty liver, 71% obese.
– NFHS-5 & Lancet (2025): Obesity rising sharply with wealth & age; projected 450 million obese by 2050.

🔄 Double Burden of Malnutrition
– Undernutrition in rural India + Overnutrition in urban India = poor Global Hunger Index ranking.
– High prevalence of NCDs in cities (e.g., Chennai: 65% deaths from NCDs).

⚠️ Alarming Stats
– Only 16% hypertensive patients have BP control (9% in age 18–44).
– 94.2% consume inadequate fruits/vegetables, 24.4% report low physical activity.

🧪 Lifestyle Drivers
– Sedentary tech jobs, poor diets, stress, erratic sleep.
– Urban food culture (late-night eateries, ultra-processed foods, cloud kitchens) worsening risk.
