Spatial pattern of climatic exposure and multidimensional poverty in districts of India
Care cascades of diabetes and hypertension among late adolescents in India
Background: Diabetes and hypertension are the most prevalent morbidities in India and are quickly becoming common among the younger age groups. Adolescents aged 10-19 years, accounting for one-fifth of the country's population, are at an increasing risk of developing these conditions. We aim to examine the prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control (ATC) of diabetes and hypertension among late adolescents (15-19 years) in India. Methods: We us…
Understanding the cataract treatment disparities among older adults in India
Background: Cataract is a leading cause of global blindness, affecting around 33% of blind individuals worldwide. It significantly impacts individuals' well-being, independence, and quality of life, posing a substantial economic burden. India's rapidly ageing population necessitates an examination of cataract prevalence and treatment disparities. No attempts have been made to address socioeconomic variation in treatment disparities of effective c…
Socioeconomic gradient of lean diabetes in India
Diabetes is a global public health challenge, particularly in India, affecting millions. Among diabetic patients, lean type 2 diabetes is a severe subtype with higher microvascular complication risks. While studies on the prevalence, variations and risk factors of diabetes are increasingly available, there has been limited research on the prevalence, variations, and socioeconomic disparities of lean diabetes in India. This study used NFHS-5 micro…

Estimates of life expectancy and premature mortality among multidimensional poor and non-poor in India
Multidimensionally poor individuals had lower longevity and higher premature mortality than their multidimensionally non-poor counterparts in India. Such differences were higher by residence (rural-urban) than by caste and religion
Healthcare inequity arising from unequal response to need in the older (45+ years) population of India
Given the large and growing number of older (45+ years) people in India, inequitable access to healthcare in this population would slow global progress toward universal health coverage. We used a 2017-18 nationally representative sample of this population (n = 53,687) to estimate healthcare inequality and inequity by economic status. We used an extensive battery of indicators in nine health domains, plus age and sex, to adjust for need. We measur…
Assessing the impact of measurement error in household consumption on estimates of catastrophic health expenditure in India
The National Sample Survey (NSS) collects reliable data on morbidity, health care, and health spending through its annual multi-subject and multi-round health surveys. Evidences from these surveys have been extensively used for research and policy. While these surveys collect comprehensive information on morbidity, hospitalisation, health expenditure, information on household consumption expenditure (which is used to explain the economic gradient…
Public health insurance coverage in India before and after PM-JAY
INTRODUCTION: The provision of non-contributory public health insurance (NPHI) to marginalised populations is a critical step along the path to universal health coverage. We aimed to assess the extent to which Ayushman Bharat-Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY)-potentially, the world's largest NPHI programme-has succeeded in raising health insurance coverage of the poorest two-fifths of the population of India. METHODS: We used nationally r…
Predictors of the gender gap in household educational spending among school and college-going children in India
Though India has achieved near-universal primary school attendance and bridged the gender gap, secondary and technical education schooling remains low. Household ability to pay for education and gender norms at the household and societal levels are possible reasons for variations in school attendance and quality of schooling. Although various studies have examined the gender gap in enrolment and school discontinuation, there are limited studies o…
Fertility transition and socioeconomic development in districts of India, 2001–2016
The fertility–development relationship is bi-directional, context-specific, multi-phased and inconsistent over time. Indian districts provide an ideal setting to study this association due to their size, diversity and disparity in socioeconomic development. The objective of this study was to understand the association of fertility and socioeconomic development among the 640 districts of India. Data were drawn from multiple sources: Censuses of In…
Inconsistency in prevalence of hypertension based on self-reports and use of standard tests
The significant deviance of self-reporting of hypertension from the prevalence derived based on standard tests further indicates the need for adopting standard tests in all emerging future large-scale surveys. A back-check survey is recommended to understand and differentiate the excessive false-positive reporting of hypertension among women aged 15-35 years
Asset and consumption gradient of health estimates in India
The wealth index based on household assets and amenities is been increasingly used to explain economic variations of health outcomes in the developing countries. While the variables used to compute the wealth index are easy to collect and time- and cost-effective, the wealth index tends to have an urban bias, uses arbitrary weighting, does not provide per capita measures and is a poor measure of inequality. We used micro data from two of the larg…
Quality of anthropometric data in India's National Family Health Survey
India has adopted a target-based approach to reduce the scourge of child malnourishment. Because the monitoring and evaluation required by this approach relies primarily on large-scale data, a data quality assessment is essential. As field teams are the primary mode of data collection in large-scale surveys, this study attempts to understand their contribution to variations in child anthropometric measures. This research can help disentangle the …
Chronic diseases and productivity loss among middle-aged and elderly in India
Individuals having any chronic disease has higher likelihood of ever stopped work and limiting paid work. Promoting awareness, screening and treatment at workplace is recommended to reduce adverse consequences of chronic disease in India
Comparative analysis of contraceptive use in Punjab and Manipur
Despite the similar level of individual level characteristics across the two states, poor coverage of family planning programs - low outreach of FLWs, low level of facility readiness, as well as sociocultural norms discouraging contraceptive use - might be responsible for lower contraceptive use in Manipur than Punjab. This implies for strengthening the health system for family planning in Manipur to meet the contraception needs of women by addre…

Association of multidimensional poverty and tuberculosis in India
The prevalence of tuberculosis is significantly higher among the multidimensional poor compared to the multidimensional non-poor in India
Contextualizing multidimensional poverty in urban India
Urban poverty is complex and conventional money‐metric poverty fails to measure the multiple deprivations of the urban population. Though recent estimates of multidimensional poverty do capture multiple deprivations, they do not capture the extent of multidimensional poverty in urban India. Using the urban sample from the National Family Health Survey, 2015–16, this paper estimates and decomposes multidimensional poverty in urban India. Urban pov…
Inequalities in the utilization of maternal health care in the pre- and post-National Health Mission periods in India
Since the implementation of the National Health Mission (NHM) in India there has been a noticeable improvement in the utilization of maternal care, namely antenatal care (ANC), skilled birth attendants (SBA) and postnatal care (PNC) in the country. The increase in utilization of these services is expected to reduce inequality across geographies and population sub-groups, but little is known about the extent of inequality in maternal care use acro…

Rich–poor Gap in Utilization of Reproductive and Child Health Services in India, 1992–2005
This paper examines the trends in utilization of five indicators of reproductive and child health services, namely, childhood immunization, medical assistance at delivery, antenatal care, contraceptive use and unmet need for contraception, by wealth index of the household in India and two disparate states, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra. The data from three rounds of the National Family and Health Survey conducted during 1992–2005 are analysed. Th…
Programmatic Implications of Meeting the Unmet Need for Contraception
Based on a longitudinal study in rural India, this article examines whether (i) women in unmet need are more likely to use contraception compared to those in no need; (ii) meeting unmet need can reduce unwanted pregnancies; (iii) contraceptive intentions with fertility preferences can enhance the utility of unmet need. The study covered 6303 women interviewed in 1998 and followed-up in 2002 in the states of Bihar, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu. Duri…

Multiple Deprivations and Maternal Care in India
CONTEXT: Despite high levels of sexual activity and risk behaviors among Jamaican youth, few population-based studies have examined their prevalence or correlates. METHODS: The prevalence of three sexual risk behaviors was assessed using data from the 2008-2009 Jamaican ?Reproductive Health Survey on a subsample of adolescents aged 15-19 who neither were in a union nor had a child. Factors associated with the risk behaviors were examined separate…
Multiple Deprivations and Maternal Care in India
CONTEXT: Research on inequalities in the utilization of maternal health care services is often confined to only the economic domain. Individuals and families living in acute poverty may simultaneously experience multiple dimensions of deprivation, which together may obstruct their access to basic health services. It is important to examine the linkages between multiple deprivations and maternal health care. METHODS: Data from the 2005-2006 Indian…

Fertility Transition and Adverse Child Sex Ratio in Districts of India
Demographic research in India over the last two decades has focused extensively on fertility change and gender bias at the micro-level, and less has been done at the district level. Using data from the Census of India 1991–2011 and other sources, this paper shows the broad pattern of fertility transition and trends in the child sex ratio in India, and examines the determinants of the child sex ratio at the district level. During 1991–2011, while …

Reproductive and Child Health Services and Demographic Change in the Districts of Uttar Pradesh, 2002–13
This study examined the effect of reproductive and child health (RCH) services on fertility and child mortality in the districts of Uttar Pradesh. It specifically measured the effect of antenatal care, medical assistance at birth, child immunization and use of modern methods of contraception on Total Fertility Rate (TFR), Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) and Under-five Morality Rate (U5MR) before and after the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) peri…
Global, regional, and national incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability for 328 diseases and injuries for 195 countries, 1990–2016
BACKGROUND: As mortality rates decline, life expectancy increases, and populations age, non-fatal outcomes of diseases and injuries are becoming a larger component of the global burden of disease. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2016 (GBD 2016) provides a comprehensive assessment of prevalence, incidence, and years lived with disability (YLDs) for 328 causes in 195 countries and territories from 1990 to 2016. METHO…
Healthcare Access and Quality Index based on mortality from causes amenable to personal health care in 195 countries and territories, 1990–2015
BACKGROUND: National levels of personal health-care access and quality can be approximated by measuring mortality rates from causes that should not be fatal in the presence of effective medical care (ie, amenable mortality). Previous analyses of mortality amenable to health care only focused on high-income countries and faced several methodological challenges. In the present analysis, we use the highly standardised cause of death and risk factor …
Global, regional, and national under-5 mortality, adult mortality, age-specific mortality, and life expectancy, 1970–2016
BACKGROUND: Detailed assessments of mortality patterns, particularly age-specific mortality, represent a crucial input that enables health systems to target interventions to specific populations. Understanding how all-cause mortality has changed with respect to development status can identify exemplars for best practice. To accomplish this, the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2016 (GBD 2016) estimated age-specific and …
Multidimensional poverty and catastrophic health spending in the mountainous regions of Myanmar, Nepal and India
The multidimensionally poor in the poorer regions are more likely to face health shocks and are less likely to afford professional health services. Increasing government spending on health and increasing households' access to health insurance can reduce catastrophic health spending and multidimensional poverty
Spatial heterogeneity and correlates of child malnutrition in districts of India
Malnutrition across the districts of India is spatially clustered. Reduction of poverty, improving women's education and health, sanitation and child feeding knowledge can reduce the prevalence of malnutrition across India. Multisectoral and targeted intervention in the geographical hotspots of malnutrition can reduce malnutrition in India
