Developing a Punjab Index of Multiple Deprivation to investigate regional health inequalities in North-Western India
Area deprivation indices are effective tools in health inequality research to identify social disparities and variations in health risks between different areas. We developed an index of multiple area deprivation for the Indian state of Punjab at the district level and present an application to inequalities in diabetes, general obesity (based on BMI), and abdominal obesity with respect to area deprivation and compare the results with household-le…
Global burden and strength of evidence for 88 risk factors in 204 countries and 811 subnational locations, 1990–2021: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021
BACKGROUND: Understanding the health consequences associated with exposure to risk factors is necessary to inform public health policy and practice. To systematically quantify the contributions of risk factor exposures to specific health outcomes, the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021 aims to provide comprehensive estimates of exposure levels, relative health risks, and attributable burden of disease for 88 ri…
Global fertility in 204 countries and territories, 1950–2021, with forecasts to 2100: A comprehensive demographic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021
BACKGROUND: Accurate assessments of current and future fertility-including overall trends and changing population age structures across countries and regions-are essential to help plan for the profound social, economic, environmental, and geopolitical challenges that these changes will bring. Estimates and projections of fertility are necessary to inform policies involving resource and health-care needs, labour supply, education, gender equality,…
Measuring the burden of accidental injuries in India: A cross-sectional analysis of the National Sample Survey (2017–18)
Globally, injuries are the leading cause of premature deaths and disability and account for nearly 9 per cent of total deaths worldwide. Like other countries, India also faces a very high burden of injuries, with the second most common cause of death and disability. Annually, 0.15 million people lose their lives due to accidental injuries/road traffic accidents in India, which is 11 per cent of the accident-related death worldwide. This study aim…
Epidemiology and Economic Burden of Continuing Challenge of Infectious Diseases in India: Analysis of Socio-Demographic Differentials
Unlike other low- and middle-income countries, infectious diseases are still predominant, and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are emerging without replacing the burden of infectious diseases in India, where it is imposing a double burden of diseases on households in the country. This study aimed to analyse the socio-economic and demographic differentials in the magnitude of economic burden and coping strategies associated with health expenditure…
Burden of out-of-pocket health expenditure and its impoverishment impact in India: Evidence from National Sample Survey
In low- and middle-income countries like India, financing of health-care expenditure is predominantly characterized by out-of-pocket (OOP) spending. Given this context, the current study examined the economic burden of OOP health expenditure and resultant impoverishment in India. The study employed nationally representative survey on ‘Health and Morbidity’ conducted by National Sample Survey Organization (NSSO) in 2014 in India. Standard catastro…
