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.

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.

Horizons Magazine
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.

Horizons Magazine
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.
These efforts aim to improve tuberculosis treatment outcomes and reduce
transmission among household contacts. They also seek to increase
awareness of the links between diet and non-communicable diseases
(NCDs), while enabling early identification and management of risk factors. In
addition, the interventions will generate new knowledge and evidence
through innovative research, strengthening nutrition-focused approaches to
the prevention and management of NCDs.
