Cardiovascular Kidney Metabolic (CKM) Syndrome
Cardiovascular Kidney Metabolic (CKM) syndrome, a growing global health issue, affects the heart, kidneys, and blood vessels, primarily driven by lifestyle changes and globalization. Tamil Nadu reports alarming rates of obesity (11.4%), hypertension (33.9%), and diabetes (17.6%), with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) accounting for 69% of premature deaths. Financially, CKM poses a heavy burden on healthcare systems, costing ₹1,200 crore annually in Tamil Nadu alone. Integrated care approaches, dietary reforms, early interventions like the Muthu Lakshmi Reddy scheme, and work-life balance initiatives are key to mitigating CKM’s impact and fostering better public health outcomes.
