Endocrine, Nutritional & Metabolic Diseases: Hormonal Balance, Nutrition Security & Healthy Metabolism for All
Empowering data‑driven, community‑centric interventions to curb the rise of endocrine and metabolic disorders in India and beyond.
Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases—ranging from diabetes and obesity to micronutrient deficiencies and thyroid disorders—are among the fastest‑growing health challenges worldwide. They compromise quality of life, drive up healthcare costs and deepen socioeconomic inequalities. In India, this “double burden” of under‑ and over‑nutrition threatens not only individual well‑being but also national development.
At Nexus 3P Foundation, we harness the power of technology, data analytics and grassroots partnerships to prevent, detect and manage these diseases at scale. By equipping communities with tailored nutrition education, early‑warning screening tools and outcome‑tracking platforms, we address root causes and deliver sustainable impact where it’s needed most.
The Problem
Global Diabetes Surge
Over 537 million adults living with diabetes in 2021—a number projected to exceed 780 million by 2045. Read here
India’s Glycemic Crisis
Nearly 74 million Indians diagnosed with diabetes, and another 38 million undiagnosed, making India the world’s “diabetes capital.”
Obesity Duality
While adult obesity rates climb past 30% in high‑income countries, underweight and micronutrient deficiencies still afflict over 20% of India’s children.
Silent Thyroid Epidemic
An estimated 42% of Indian households are iodine‑deficient, contributing to goiter, cognitive delays and metabolic slowdown.
Micronutrient Gaps
Iron‑deficiency anemia affects 53% of Indian women of reproductive age, undermining maternal and child health.
Youth at Risk
Rising childhood obesity and early‑onset type 2 diabetes forecast a generation facing complications decades earlier than their parents.
