Urbanization, Cardiovascular disease two aspects of same coin: Dr Sushil
3/5/2023 10:17:52 PM
Early Times Report

Jammu, Mar 5: With fast pace of urbanization with each passing day and its detrimental effect on cardiac health Head Department of Cardiology Dr Sushil Sharma conducted a day long Cardiac Awareness Cum Health Check up Camp at Gaushala , Amphalla , Jammu with the aim to screen high risk cardiac patients and to disseminate the information regarding primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases. The camp was organized by Shri Sukrala Mata Religious Trust in association with Gau Raksha Samiti of Jammu & Kashmir .The camp was inaugurated by Dr Sushil Sharma , Sh. Devender Singh Rana along with Prominent members. More than 200 people were screened; evaluated, diagnosed and free medicines were given as per the requirements.
While Interacting with the People Dr Sushil stated that over half of the world’s population resides in urban areas and this proportion may increase to 66% by 2050.With increasing urbanization, there are concerns about an increasing prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), a leading cause of death worldwide. Urbanization is one of the major upstream socio-environmental factors associated with the rise in CVD and increases in cardio metabolic risk markers in rapidly developing countries. There are also a number of underlying determinants of CVDs. They stem from major social, economic and cultural developments - globalization, urbanization, aging populations, poverty, stress and hereditary factors. It is these socio-cultural and economic disturbances that could partly determine the differences observed between rural and urban areas in Africa.
He further maintained that the difference in patterns of health and disease between rural and urban areas has not been widely studied.
It is usually believed that urban residents have worse health than those in rural areas due to greater exposure to stress, air pollution and higher drug and alcohol consumption. However, in some wealthy countries, the mortality rate is higher in rural than in urban areas.
Senior BJP Leader Sh. Devender Singh Rana addressed the Media and people that heart health is Central to overall Good health and Dr Sushil and his team is dedicating every Sunday of the month and raise awareness issues about cardiovascular health which is a boon for people of the Jammu and Kashmir .
Dr Sushil Sharma in his keynote address told that CVD is often referred to as a lifestyle disease.
This term is misleading however; it implies individual responsibility for, or choice of, poor heart health. It does not take into account social, economic and physical constraints that may force people into unhealthy behaviour. A mother trying to feed her children with limited budget may have little option but to purchase cheap but unhealthy food high in fat, sugar and salt.
Children living in an urban slum may have no space to play and exercise safely. A teenager may be so heavily influenced by industry marketing that they choose to smoke, without knowledge or appreciation of the dangers to health posed by tobacco use. Tackling these issues requires a multi-stakeholder approach: by working together we can improve health education, strengthen healthcare and fight industry tactics, to address the world’s number one killer.
President of Gau Raksha Samiti Shri Rajkumar and President of Mata Sukrala Devi Religious Trust Sh.Tript Shastri , Sh. Jatin Langar ( Vice –President), Shubham langar Vimal mehra ,Tejinder Singh and Keshav Sharma .Appreciated the efforts of Dr Sushil and his team for conducting Cardiac awareness cum health checkup camp in their locality
Others who were part of this Camp include Dr Nasir Ali Choudhary and Dr Swapnil Sharma. Paramedics and Volunteers includes Kamal Sharma, Raghav Rajput, Ranjeet Singh , Amandeep Singh , Maninder Singh , Akshay Kumar , Hirdhanshu Kohli, Arjun Ghuman and Sandeep Pal .
