Full description Meghalaya is a hilly state in north-eastern India where many Indigenous people from the Khasi tribe live. Our recent study with residents from this state found that high blood sugar, high blood pressure and overweight are very common. The development of heart disease and diabetes starts early in life and lifelong patterns of behaviour are well established by early adulthood. Our program will evaluate a lifestyle change program with young people from these communities.
