Figure 2. New Delhi Birth Cohort CVD Risk Factors
(A) Categoric anthropometric and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor variable prevalence (with 95% confidence intervals [CIs]) at phases 5 (red bars) and 6 (black bars) in men from the New Delhi Birth Cohort. All differences for within-sex comparisons between participants seen in phases 5 and 6 are statistically significant unless noted (**). (B) Categoric anthropometric and CVD risk factor variable prevalence (with 95% CIs) at phases 5 and 6 in women from the New Delhi Birth Cohort. All differences for within-sex comparisons between participants seen in phases 5 and 6 are statistically significant unless noted (**). BMI = body mass index; DM = diabetes mellitus; HDL = high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; IGT = impaired glucose tolerance; TC = total cholesterol; TG = triglycerides.

Temporal trends of the prevalence of overweight (green line), hypertension (blue line), and diabetes (orange line) in urban India (diagnosis based on laboratory testing). Each star represents the New Delhi Birth Cohort prevalence data during phase 6. Data from World Health Organization (WHO) India (4).
