ABSTRACT
Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) are exacerbated by
malnutrition. The purpose of this study was to examine how respondents viewed
about NCDs. One tehsil (Sadiqabad), two union councils, and four villages (two
villages from each union council) were chosen by the multi-stage selection. In this
regard, 41 respondents from households were randomly picked in each selected
village. Malnutrition was shown to be a contributing factor in a slew of
illnesses prevalent among rural residents. Dizziness was found to be the most
common NCDs among the participants. The t-test found that male participants
were more likely to suffer from NCDs than female individuals. The study
recommended that rural households should be informed about NCDs via non-formal
educational institutions, such as extension services.
