Although a nominal reduction in malnutrition in women has been seen over the last decade, yet the nutritional status of Indian women has been adversely influenced by socioeconomic inequalities. The optimal quantity and quality of women' diet have been found directly associated with the socioeconomic status. Previous studies have identified specific or few socioeconomic factors affecting nutritional status among women in specific regions of India. However, it is necessary to identify and eliminate the specific factors prevalent in different socioeconomic strata that delineate the nutritional status of women of reproductive age and the health of future generation. The present review aims to assess the association of socioeconomic inequalities on the nutritional status of women of reproductive age across different settings of India. The literature search was performed using the PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar databases. A total of twenty-six (n=26) studies were included in this review. The results of the review reveals that the low socioeconomic status of women limits the intake of nutrient-rich diets like green leafy vegetables, fruits, pulses, dairy products and meat/fish/eggs., which contain various essential macro- and micro-nutrients. On the contrary, women hailing from the high socioeconomic status are prone to high intake of fat-rich diet. Maternal income, occupation, education and nutritional awareness were the major contributory factors that affect the dietary diversity and adequacy, intake of the nutrient-rich and supplementary diets. Consequently, it leads to malnutrition and other nutrient-disorders among women belonging to low and high socioeconomic strata. Discerning the specific socioeconomic factors associated with nutritional status of women is imperative to create new sustainable health interventions and better implementation of existing ones.

Low birth weight is one of the leading factors for infant morbidity and mortality. To a large extent affect, various maternal risk factors are associated with pregnancy outcomes by increasing odds of delivering an infant with low birth weight. Despite this association, understanding the maternal risk factors affecting term low birth weight has been a challenging task. To date, limited studies have been conducted in India that exert independent magnitude of these effects on term low birth weight. The aim of this review is to examine the current knowledge of maternal risk factors that contribute to term low birth weight in the Indian population. In order to identify the potentially relevant articles, an extensive literature search was conducted using PubMed, Goggle Scholar and IndMed databases (1993 - Dec 2020). Our results indicate that maternal age, educational status, socio-economic status, ethnicity, parity, pre-pregnancy weight, maternal stature, maternal body mass index, obstetric history, maternal anaemia, gestational weight gain, short pregnancy outcome, hypertension during pregnancy, infection, antepartum haemorrhage, tobacco consumption, maternal occupation, maternal psychological stress, alcohol consumption, antenatal care and mid-upper arm circumference have all independent effects on term low birth weight in the Indian population. Further, we argue that exploration for various other dimensions of maternal factors and underlying pathways can be useful for a better understanding of how it exerts independent association on term low birth weight in the Indian sub-continent.

- Abstract
The association of melanocortin receptor 4 (MC4R) gene with adiposity measures is widely studied in European populations. Only six studies have investigated the role of MC4R gene with adiposity measures among Indian populations. We have evaluated the role of MC4R (rs17782313) gene polymorphism in influencing adiposity measures in India among children and adults. The present population based cross sectional study was conducted among 303 individuals (208 children and 95 adults) of age group 10–30 years, belonging to Rajasthan. Somatometric measurements (standing height, weight, and waist and hip girths) and blood samples were taken after obtaining written informed consent. Genotyping of MC4R rs17782313 single nucleotide polymorphism was done using restriction fragment length polymorphism method for polymerase chain reaction amplified fragments. We examined association between rs17782313 and different adiposity measures (height, weight, BMI, WHR, and waist and hip girths) using linear regression models. The MC4R variant (rs17782313) predicted increased body weight (0.15 kg, S.E ± 0.076, P = 0.043) among children. In combined population, the rs17782313 variant was moderately associated with body weight (0.13 kg, S.E ± 0.070, P = 0.057). This variant was not found to be associated with any other adiposity measure. Further studies are needed to evaluate the association of MC4R variants through sequencing and functional genomics with different adiposity measures in Indian populations for understanding the genetic underpinnings of adiposity in India. • Population based cross-sectional study exploring the association of MC4R gene with obesity measures in Indian population. • Significant association of MC4R loci was observed with body weight in children. • In pooled sample, association of MC4R loci with body weight was attenuated after adjusting with confounders. • Lack of genetic association with other adiposity measures might be due to low sample size of the study.

BACKGROUNDFat mass is variably associated with bone mass, possibly due to differential mechanical and biological effects of fat mass. We examined the association of fat mass with bone mass in a lean population.OBJECTIVETo investigate association between hip bone mineral density and fat and lean mass in a cross-sectional study from southern India.DESIGNThe Andhra Pradesh Children and Parents Study is a prospective cohort study in Hyderabad, India. In 2009-2012, the study collected data on anthropometric measures, bone mineral density (BMD), fat mass, and lean mass measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, and socioeconomic data of the adult participants (n = 1760; mean age = 34.9 years old for women; 2130 and 32.3 for men).RESULTSThe median BMI (kg/m2) was 20.1 kg/m2. Women had relatively higher fat mass as compared to men. In models adjusted for lean mass, there was an association between hip bone mineral density and fat mass in women (β (95% confidence interval): premenopausal 0.025 (0.006 to 0.045); postmenopausal 0.045 (0.014 to 0.076)) but not in men (0.001 (-0.012 to 0.0014)). The association between hip BMD and fat mass was stronger in postmenopausal than premenopausal women. Hip BMD was consistently associated with lean mass, in both men and women.CONCLUSIONSIn this relatively lean population, lean mass was more consistently associated with hip BMD than fat mass. Weight gain through lean mass improvement may be a more reliable public health strategy for strengthening bone health in transitional settings.

Obesity is one of the largest global health problems associated with increased morbidity and mortality mediated by its association with several other metabolic disorders. The interaction between the genes and environment plays an important role in the manifestation of obesity. Despite a high heritability (40-70%) of obesity, the search for genetic variants associated with obesity susceptibility has been a challenging task. To date, limited studies have been conducted in India, restricted to the validation of few genetic variants identified by genomewide association studies. In this critical review, we sought to examine the current knowledge of genetic basis of obesity and its measures in the Indian population. A comprehensive literature search was performed using ‘PubMed’, ‘Medline’ and ‘IndMed’ databases to search for citations published until 31st May 2017, using the key terms as ‘Genetics’ AND ‘obesity’ AND ‘India’. We identified 48 potential studies which fulfilled the eligibility criteria. The findings indicated that FTO, MC4R, TNF-α
, PPAR-γ , UCP1, UCP2, LPL, LEPR, AMD1, IL6, APOE, ADIPOQ, DOK5, INSIG2, PBEF1, IL6R, Myostatin, CXCR4, HHEX, IRX3, POMC, NGN3, FOXA2, MTR, TCN and CHDH are some of the important genes studied among the Indian population. Importantly, the role of sexual dimorphism in the genetic regulation of obesity and body fat distribution was also reported in a few studies. Further, seven biological pathways have been identified that contribute to obesity pathogenesis in India. In conclusion, further exploration of pathway-based research on genetics of obesity can be useful for better understanding the pathophysiology of obesity in India. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] - Published

The rising prevalence of the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is generally attributed to smoking, since the role of other risk factors among non-smokers are not well established especially in low and middle income countries like India. This is also reflected by the limited literature available on non-smoking related COPD risk factors like indoor and outdoor air pollution. The present review is an attempt to assess the influence of non-smoking risk factors on COPD and its measures in Indian subcontinent. The most noteworthy factors among non-smokers appear to be the use of biomass fuel for cooking and heating purposes. We observed that the studies undertaken to evaluate the role of such risk factors are inconclusive due to weak methodologies and small sample sizes, may be due to limited financial resources. The present review suggests the need of a nationally representative study to estimate the effect of each of the potential modifiable risk factor (other than smoking) for framing impactful public health policies to prevent and manage COPD at community and population level in India.

The dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) gene, with its known human-specific derived alleles that can facilitate haplotype reconstruction, presents an important locus for anthropological studies. The three sites (TaqIA, TaqIB, and TaqiD) of the DRD2 gene are widely studied in various world populations. However, no work has been previously published on DRD2 gene polymorphisms among North Indian populations. Thus, the present study attempts to understand the genetic structure of North Indian upper caste populations using the allele and haplotype frequencies and distribution patterns of the three TaqI sites of the DRD2 gene. Two hundred forty-six blood samples were collected from five upper caste populations of Himachal Pradesh (Brahmin, Rajput and Jat) and Delhi (Aggarwal and Sindhi), and analysis was performed using standard protocols. All three sites were found to be polymorphic in all five of the studied populations. Uniform allele frequency distribution patterns, low heterozygosity values, the sharing of five common haplotypes, and the absence of two of the eight possible haplotypes observed in this study suggest a genetic proximity among the selected populations. The results also indicate a major genetic contribution from Eurasia to North Indian upper castes, apart from the common genetic unity of Indian populations. The study also demonstrates a greater genetic inflow among North Indian caste populations than is observed among South Indian caste and tribal populations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
