  • Is hypertension screening effective in a low-resource setting? A multidimensional regression discontinuity design

    Fabrice Kämpfen, Owen O''Donnell et al.ARTICLEEconomic Development and Cultural…2025References: 66

    Noncommunicable diseases impede development, yet evidence on screening in low-resource settings is scarce. We evaluate hypertension screening in rural South Africa using a multidimensional regression discontinuity: a survey measures blood pressure (BP) and refers individuals exceeding either of two thresholds. Overall, referral modestly raises treatment uptake but shows no average BP effect after 4 years. We use BP variation with time of day and …

  • Healthcare inequity arising from unequal response to need in the older (45+ years) population of India

    Open AccessSanjay K Mohanty, Junaid Khan et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2024References: 7

    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…

  • Public health insurance coverage in India before and after PM-JAY

    Open AccessSanjay K Mohanty, Ashish Kumar Upadhyay et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023

    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…

  • Barker's Hypothesis Among the Global Poor

    Open AccessAlberto Ciancio, Jere R Behrman et al.ARTICLEDemography2023References: 35

    An influential literature on the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) has documented that poor conditions in utero lead to higher risk of cardiovascular disease at older ages. Evidence from low-income countries (LICs) has hitherto been missing, despite the fact that adverse in utero conditions are far more common in LICs. We find that Malawians exposed in utero to the 1949 Nyasaland famine have better cardiovascular health 70 years…

  • The effects of negative economic shocks at birth on adolescents’ cognitive outcomes and educational attainment in Malawi

    Open AccessFabrice Kämpfen, Fatima Zahra et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2022

    We provide new evidence of the association between moderate negative economic shocks in utero or shortly after birth and adolescents' cognitive outcomes and educational attainment in Malawi. This is one of the first studies to analyze the effect of not one, but multiple moderate negative economic shocks in a sub-Saharan African (SSA) low-income country (LIC). This focus is important as multiple economic shocks in early life are more representativ…

  • Using grip strength to compute physical health-adjusted old age dependency ratios

    Open AccessFabrice Kämpfen, Iliana V Kohler et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2020

    The standard approach for comparing the potential challenges of population aging across countries based on conventional old-age dependency ratios (OADR) does not account for cross-population differences in health, functional capacity or disability, despite their importance for labor force participation and dependency more broadly. We investigate how OADRs observed across selected low-, middle-, and high-income countries change if population diffe…
