In Southern Rajasthan in Udaipur region, both tribal and non-tribal individuals were examined for their distribution of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, and obesity characteristics. Methods: From 220 participants (Tribal -78, Non- tribal-122) of both sexes older than 18 years, information on somatometric measures, blood pressure, lipid profile, and fasting blood glucose was gathered. To explore the variations in prevalence between populations, two-way ANOVA and chi square analysis were used. Results: We found that the tribal population differed in their distribution of obesity-related factors, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and dyslipidemia. They were less prone to Obesity, hyper tension, Diabetes and dyslipidemia than non- tribals with less physical activity and lifestyle different from tribal population. ANOVA test results showed that Atherogenic index was highly significant with Group 1 (Tribal males), Group 2 (Tribal Females), Group 3 (Non- Tribal Males) and Group 4 (Non- tribal females). The prevalence of Obesity, Diabetes Mellitus and dyslipidemia in the study was more prevalent in Non-tribals (74%, 9 %, 72%) as compared to Tribals (4.5%, 1%, 10%), Conclusions: In order to design population-specific health initiatives, population-specific prevalence studies must be carried out, particularly in nations like India with great diversity
