As there has been an increasing prevalence of modifiable NCD risk factors among Indian tribes over the past three decades, the current study aimed to estimate the prevalence of NCD risk factors among the tribal population in Puducherry.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted a community-based cross-sectional survey to assess NCD risk factors in the period January\u2013December of 2018. We purposively selected the survey location and adopted a systematic random sampling technique using alternative households to enroll tribal participants; children less than 5 years were excluded from the study.

The prevalence of current tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and hypertension were 22.6% (95% CI: 19.2\u201326.3), 18.7% (95% CI: 15.5\u201322.2), and 9.1% (95% CI: 6.9\u201311.8), respectively. The prevalence of overweight and obesity was found to be 14.7% and 32.1%, respectively. The prevalence of tobacco and alcohol use was significantly higher among the elderly and males. The risk of having hypertension was twofold higher among the male tribes by PR: 2.10 (95% CI: 1.19\u20133.68) compared with female.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
