Clustering of hypertension and clustering of diabetes at the household level and variations in disease awareness within households in India: Findings from a nationally representative household survey
Objective Despite rising prevalence, very limited evidence is available on the clustering of hypertension and clustering of diabetes at household level in India. This study examines the clustering of hypertension and clustering of diabetes at household level among members aged 15 years and above in India. Methods Clustering of hypertension is defined as two or more members of the household having hypertension. Clustering of diabetes is defined as…
Clustering of hypertension and clustering of diabetes within households across districts of India: A cross-sectional analysis using a nationally representative household survey
Despite the rising prevalence of hypertension and diabetes, limited evidence exists on clustering of hypertension and clustering of diabetes within households in India, prompting this study to examine the issue among individuals aged 15 years and above across all 707 districts in India. Clustering here is defined as two or more household members having a disease. We examined clustering for hypertension and clustering for diabetes separately, usin…
Anaemia Among Mother–Child Dyads in India: Trends, Drivers, and Future Projections
Anaemia among mothers and their children is a widespread public health challenge with profound consequences for individuals and societies. While anaemia has been studied separately in women and children, there remains a literature gap examining anaemia in mother-child dyads, limiting insights on interventions that may simultaneously address anaemia in both groups. Our study examines trends and drivers of anaemia among mother-child dyads (mothers …
Assessing progress on the coverage of interventions in the first 1000 days in India: Role of national programs
BACKGROUND: High coverage of nutrition-specific interventions is critical to meet global nutrition targets, and it is imperative to understand how to attain it. We examined trends and inequalities in the coverage of interventions in India and the role of the National Nutrition Mission (NNM) in achieving improvements. METHODS: We conducted trends and equity analysis of 30 interventions using two rounds of National Family Health Survey data (2015-2…
Key drivers of reversal of trend in childhood anaemia in India: Evidence from Indian demographic and health surveys, 2016–21
These findings may have vital implications for the ongoing Anaemia Mukt Bharat Programme, one of the government's dream projects in India
Methodological considerations in designing and implementing the harmonized diagnostic assessment of dementia for longitudinal aging study in India (Lasi-DAD)
The Harmonized Diagnostic Assessment of Dementia for Longitudinal Aging Study in India (LASI-DAD) is a population-representative, prospective cohort study of late-life cognition and dementia. It is part of an ongoing international research collaboration that aims to measure and understand cognitive impairment and dementia risk by collecting a set of cognitive and neuropsychological assessments and informant reports, referred to as the Harmonized …
Mid-upper arm circumference cut-offs for screening thinness and severe thinness in Indian adolescent girls aged 10–19 years in field settings
Objective: (i) To assess diagnostic accuracy of mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) for screening thinness and severe thinness in Indian adolescent girls aged 10–14 and 15–19 years compared with BMI-for-age Z -score (BAZ) <−2 and <−3 as the gold standard and (ii) to identify appropriate MUAC cut-offs for screening thinness and severe thinness in Indian girls aged 10–14 and 15–19 years. Design: Cross-sectional, conducted October 2016–April 2017. Se…
Disposal of children’s stools and its association with childhood diarrhea in India
We found significant statistical association between children's stool disposal and diarrhea. Therefore, gains in reduction of childhood diarrhea can be achieved in India through the complete elimination of unsafe disposal of children's stools. The sanitation programmes currently being run in India must also focus on safe disposal of children's stool
