Health status, Topography, Playfields and Socio-Economic Factor of tribal population of Jammu and Kashmir- A Demographic survey
Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) has a substantial proportion of tribal population and constitutes 11.9% of the total population. Gujjar tribe is the largest tribe in J&K. Bakarwal is a nomadic pastoral tribe known for livestock farming as the main source of livelihood and is the second largest tribe in the Union territory. The combined population of Gujjar and Bakarwal community is around 10,93,852 constituting 69% of the total tribal population of J&K. Traditionally, Most of the population is young with around 70% of the population in the age group 1–40 years. Of the total population studied, women constituted 57.8% (3936) and men constituted 42.2% (2872). Among the tribal adults (20–59 year) females constituted major population share (68.8%) compared to males (20.6%) so as in elderly people (>60 years) females were more in number compared to males. However, in the case of adolescents (10–19 year) and children (<10 years), the male-female ratio was almost the same. About 94.3% of the study population had a meagre yearly income of <25000 rupees and only 0.7% of population had income >75000 rupees. Deaths due to NCD deaths are projected to increase by 15% between 2010 and 2020 (to 44 million deaths) with an estimated 10.4 million deaths in South-East Asia. 80% of these will occur in developing countries like our own country India. Management an NCD is a costly affair and it is reported that by 2030, the financial burden of cancer may exceed $1 billion per year. In 2015, the treatment for asthma aggregated $2.6 billion, and 2030, the treatment may exceed $ 4 billion. Non availability of Play fields for sports and High rate of unemployment; unhealthy work environment, low wages, and high work load increase the rate of mood disorders, anxiety, depression, and suicide, and also pose a severe risk of cardiovascular diseases. World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that positive changes in health behaviors (mainly, not smoking, eating a healthy diet, maintaining normal weight, and being physically active), can reduce the risk of hypertension, dyslipidemia, vitamin D deficiency and diabetes by about three quarters.
