Dr Salim Yusuf, professor of medicine and vice president of research, Health Research Institute, McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada [Images], says by 2010, India is expected to have 60 per cent of the world's heart patients and that in India problems of the heart are increasingly striking younger people. The study, titled Create and conducted by Dr Yusuf, with Dr Denis Xavier of the St John's National Academy of Health Sciences, Bangalore, appeared recently in the prestigious British medical journal Lancet. The study is a prospective registry study of almost 21,000 patients across India that concludes that Indians 'have a higher rate of serious heart disease at a younger age.' And, 'they are less likely to receive quick care than in other developed countries.' In a telephone interview with rediff India Abroad Senior Editor Ajit Jain, Dr Yusuf called India the world's diabetic capital, where people are less active in their leisure time than any other ethnic group in the world. And contrary to our vegetarian pride, he said Indians' "consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables is low, compared to most countries." We eat vegetables that have high levels of carbohydrates -- like potatoes, he pointed out. "And amongst wealthy people, their diet is highly oily and seriously wrong," he added. |
