Answer: Option
Explanation:
In 2022, Sikkim recorded the highest proportion of certified deaths from digestive diseases, accounting for nearly 20% of all deaths in the state. This significant figure places it at the top among Indian states, highlighting the alarming regional disparities in liver and digestive health outcomes. The Northeastern region of India, including states like Nagaland, Assam, and Manipur, shows a distinct trend of elevated digestive disease mortality, with five states crossing the 10% threshold. Factors such as high rates of alcohol and meat consumption in the region are believed to be contributing to these trends, emphasizing the need for targeted public health interventions.
