(1) Information Technology (IT) Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), the largest employment sector of India, contributes to rapid economic growth. However, the work of IT employees is sedentary, and the food environments of their worksites expose them to an obesogenic environment. This study aimed to assess their metabolic and lifestyle risk factors. (2) Methods: To examine the health and nutrition status of IT employees, anthropometric, biochemical and clinical assessments were conducted among 183 employees from three IT organizations of varied operational sizes. Their health-, diet- and physical activity-related practices were assessed using a questionnaire. The prevalence of MetS was assessed. Selected biomarker levels were assessed and associated with their self-perceived stress levels. (3) Results: The median age of the employees was 30 years (26–35 years). While 44.02% of employees were overweight, 16.85% of employees were obese. About 3.89% of employees were found to be diabetic, and HDL-C levels were lower than recommended in 64.93% of employees. In all, 29.87% of the study population were considered to have metabolic syndrome since they had metabolic risk scores ≥ 3. Those with metabolic syndrome were significantly older (p = 0.000), and levels of MDA (p = 0.003), homocysteine (p = 0.001), IL-6 (p = 0.017) and IL-4 (p = 0.000) were significantly higher among them. Although the prevalence of MetS was significantly lower among those aged >30 years, the lifestyle risk factors were significantly higher among them. (4) Conclusions: The assessed parameters indicate a high risk of developing NCDs among employees in the IT industry in India. This shows the need for the modification of lifestyle and workplace food and physical activity environments.

Anaemia is still a major public health challenge among Indian women despite decades of policy and programmes. National data reveal persistently high prevalence rates, geographic hotspots and socioeconomic inequalities. This narrative review examines the recent trends in anaemia among Indian women, explores the multifactorial causes, health and economic consequences and the effectiveness of bringing in innovative modern approaches in current interventions. While iron is the major contributor, in a substantial proportion of women, non-iron micronutrient deficiencies, infections, inflammation, genetic haemoglobin disorders, and poor diet cause anaemia. Poverty, low education, early marriage, gender inequalities and limited healthcare access further worsen their vulnerability. Anaemia significantly affects women’s physical capacity, productivity, maternal-perinatal outcomes and mental health. Clinical and public health interventions face major implementation gaps, decreasing the impact. Emerging approaches such as precision mapping, digital adherence tools, non-invasive diagnostics and food-tech innovations can offer new opportunities. A shift towards context-specific, biologically informed, focused strategies is essential to sustainably reduce the burden of anaemia among Indian women.
