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.
