Prediabetes, Obesity and Low Vitamin Levels: Apollo Report Warns of Alarming Health Trends

India’s health profile is undergoing a silent but significant shift, with lifestyle-related risks emerging earlier and often going unnoticed. A recent nationwide ‘Health of the Nation 2026’ report by Apollo Hospitals, based on over three million preventive assessments in 2025, highlights that one in five individuals under 30 is already prediabetic, though the condition remains reversible at this stage, according to The Hindu.

More than half the population studied was found to be obese and had abnormal cholesterol levels, while nearly 70% were deficient in Vitamin D and almost half had low Vitamin B12 levels.

The findings also reveal that younger individuals show declining physical fitness, with two-thirds lacking adequate strength, flexibility, or balance. Among working adults, a majority were overweight, with high rates of prediabetes and hypertension. Women showed distinct risks, such as anaemia and earlier onset of breast cancer. Alarmingly, many serious conditions like fatty liver and early atherosclerosis were detected despite normal routine test results, underlining the need for early, preventive, and more comprehensive health screening approaches.
