A significant degree of association was found between social media use and depression among adolescent boys and girls in the study. The present study concludes that factors like age, gender and education showed significant relationships with social media use and depression
Applications of new measures of population ageing using quantity and quality of remaining life years to India and selected states
In the latter part of the third stage, India is in demographic transition with declining fertility and mortality. This marked decline in death rates is driven by improvements in health conditions due to medical progress and better living conditions. The conventional measures of ageing do not account for the significant improvements in health and life expectancy, thus leading to a tendency to overestimate the impact of population ageing when these…
Status and correlates of non-communicable diseases among children and adolescents in slum and non-slum areas of India's four metropolitan cities
The emergence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in childhood poses a serious risk to a healthy adult life.

Nationally repres…
Exposure to Pornographic Content Among Indian Adolescents and Young Adults and Its Associated Risks
Data quality of birthweight reporting in India
The study aims to assess the quality of birthweight data collected in two surveys, including the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) and the Comprehensive National Nutrition Survey (CNNS), and as reported in the statistics from the Health Management Information System (HMIS). The study also aims to assess the implications of the data on the estimates of low birthweight (LBW). The percentage of newborns whose birthweight is missing continues to b…
The association of smartphone screen time with sleep problems among adolescents and young adults
The increased time spent on mobile phones's screen among adolescents and young-adults, particularly in females is associated with a higher likelihood of reporting sleeping problems. The current findings have important implications for adolescence and young-adults' mental health programmes. The findings can also be used to further inform how different strategies need to be developed for better sleep outcome during adolescence and young-adults
Changing Patterns of One-Person and One-Couple-Only Households in India
Association between school dropouts, early marriages, childbearing, and mental health in early adulthood of women
School dropouts, early marriages, and low age at childbearing are issues still prevalent in Indian states like Bihar, which may be responsible for poor mental health among young adults. The present study examined the effect of life-course events such as school dropouts, early marriages, and early childbearing on mental health status at later ages (23–28 years). Using data from the Understanding the Lives of Adolescents and Young Adults consisting…
Status and correlates of micronutrient deficiencies in slum and non-slum areas of India's four metropolitan cities
Household- and community-level determinants of low-risk Caesarean deliveries among women in India
Caesarean section delivery rates in India have doubled from 9% in 2005–06 to 17% in 2015–16, increasing the clinical and economic burden on the health care system. This study applied multilevel models to assess the role of household- and community-level factors in Caesarean section (CS) deliveries among low-risk women in India using data from Round 4 of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-4) conducted in 2015–16. The sample size was 59,318 lo…
Increasing role of abstinence and infecundity in non-use of contraceptive methods in India
This paper assesses the reasons for non-use of contraceptive methods, and the possible complexity of reported data on women in India. The study used recent data from two successive rounds of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) (2005–06: N =37,296; 2015–16: N =247,024), which surveyed currently married women aged 15–49 years. The reporting on non-use of contraceptives and the changing pattern of the reasons for non-use were analysed, classifi…
Co-existence of diabetes and TB among adults in India
Multiple studies suggest that diabetes mellitus (DM) is a potential risk factor for tuberculosis (TB) development and treatment, especially in low- and middle-income countries. The study aimed to test concomitancy between DM and TB among adults in India. Data were from the 2015–16 National Family Health Survey (NFHS-4). The study sample comprised 107,575 men aged 15–54 and 677,292 women aged 15–49 for which data on DM status were available in the…
Does substance use by family members and community affect the substance use among adolescent boys? Evidence from Udaya study, India
It is evident that exposure to substance use in the family and community increases the likelihood of substance use among adolescent boys. There is a need for household- and community-level programmatic interventions to alleviate the risk of substance use among adolescents
Modelling Determinants of Deaths Attributable to External Causes Among Adults in India
The study aimed at finding the risk factors associated with adult mortality (15-59 years) due to external causes (accidents, suicide, poisoning, homicide, and violence). Using National Family Health Survey data-4 consisting of 1,756,867 sample, we applied a Robust Poisson Regression Model to determine the potential risk factors. Findings suggest that the highest proportion of deaths due to external causes was in the age group 20-24 years. The pre…
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…
Does depressive symptoms, physical inactivity and substance use catalyze the suicidal tendency among adolescents? Evidence from a cross-sectional study
Working life gain from gain in old age life expectancy in India
It is important to evaluate the interaction between increasing life expectancy and changing age patterns in work participation from the perspective of planning for the greying population of India
