for impact
In adulthood, the cumulative effects of poor nutrition become increasingly evident through both non-communicable diseases and increased vulnerability to infections. Adult malnutrition remains an under-recognised driver of disease, with a bidirectional link between poor nutrition and health outcomes.
The Tata Trusts enable integrated, patient-centric nutrition interventions within existing programmes to improve treatment outcomes, recovery, and prevention, particularly among vulnerable populations.
Nutrition and Enhanced Support for Tuberculosis (TB) Care and Prevention
Strengthening nutrition support for tuberculosis patients and their households to improve treatment outcomes while advancing research for patients with poor nutritional recovery and reducing transmission among household contacts.
Nutrition-linked Prevention and Management of Non-communicable Diseases (NCDs)
Supporting research and services to prevent and manage dietrelated NCDs such as diabetes and hypertension, with a focus on improving diets, addressing lifestyle risks, and integrating nutrition care within existing health systems.
Large-scale Awareness Campaign on Diets Linked to NCD Prevention
Supporting large-scale campaigns to spread awareness on the links between diet and noncommunicable disease prevention, targeting at-risk populations to enable early identification, behaviour change, and reduction of NCD risk factors.
