An observational, multigenerational platform for health systems and population health interventions to minimise intergenerational transmission of non-communicable diseases in India: the YUVAAN cohort study protocol.

Introduction: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) pose a significant health burden in India, with preventable risk factors contributing to their prevalence. In rural populations, inequalities may be reinforced by health risks passed down through generations. Taking a life course perspective, this multigenerational cohort study aims to investigate behavioural, socioecological, and socioeconomic determinants of growth and NCD risk, as well as healthcare access and utilisation among preadolescents and their parents.

Change in Grading of Stunting in Children aged 0-5 years in a Tertiary Hospital in Western India by Using WHO vs. Indian References.

Objectives: To classify under 5-y-old children into normal, short, severe short and tall categories as per WHO (2006) and Indian 2019 synthetic growth charts and to compare the change in the proportion of stunted children based on these two charts.

Methods: This study was done on 1557 (795 boys) apparently healthy children of age group 0-5 y who attended outpatient clinics for routine vaccination and their stature categories were compared on WHO 2006 vs. 2019 Indian synthetic charts.

Patterns and determinants of serum amylase, lipase concentrations in Indian adolescents and youth with type 1 diabetes.

Objectives: Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency has been demonstrated in type 1 diabetes (T1D); lower concentrations of pancreatic enzymes have been associated with metabolic risk (MR). Influence of puberty and MR factors on serum concentrations of amylase and lipase remain unexplored in Indian youth with T1D. 1) To characterize and predict determinants of serum amylase and lipase concentrations in adolescents/youth with T1D.

Resting Metabolic Rate in Indian Adolescents and Youth with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: A Case Controlled Study.

Introduction: Energy metabolism in type 1 diabetes (T1D) is known to be different. Resting metabolic rate (RMR) accounts for the largest portion of total energy needs. The objective of our study was to assess resting metabolic rate and its determinants in adolescents and young adults with T1D in comparison with age- and gender-matched healthy controls.

Geographic information system mapping and predictors of glycemic control in children and youth with type 1 diabetes: a study from Western India.

Objectives: Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping, is a novel way to provide insights into spatial distribution of type 1 diabetes (T1D) and associations between T1D outcomes and potential predictors. We aimed to explore GIS in children with T1D, and identify predictors of poor glycemic control.

Methods: Design: Cross-sectional; Participants: 402 children and youth (187 boys) with T1D.
