The crossroads of work and home
The correlation between smoke-free workplaces and smoke-free homes is linked to stringent workplace no-smoking policies, potentially deterring individuals from smoking at home. Opportunities exist for the expansion and stringent implementation of the smoke-free policies among Indian working adults, leveraging the workplace as a key setting for evidence-based tobacco control. The study highlights positive trends in India's smoke-free homes, credit…
Importance of Caste-Based Headcounts
Caste has always been a subject of socio-political segregation in India. Inequality across caste is prominent for varying health and development outcomes, which is a subject less researched till date. Four rounds of National Family Health Surveys (1–4) conducted in the last 25 years are analysed to portray the fertility and mortality differentials across castes/ tribes. The article signifies, that distinct inter and intra-caste differences in ass…
Comparing socio-economic inequalities in self-reported and undiagnosed hypertension among adults 45 years and over in India
Results imply that self-reported measures underestimate the true prevalence of hypertension and disproportionately affect the poorer MPCE groups. The prevalence of self-reported HTN was higher in the richest group, whereas socio-economic inequality in undiagnosed hypertension was significantly concentrated in the poorest group. As majority of the inequalities remain unexplained in case of undiagnosed hypertension, broader health systems issues in…
Gastrointestinal problem among Indian adults
Introduction Diseases and illnesses of the gastrointestinal system (GIS) have grown in the last decade due to considerable lifestyle changes. People with gastrointestinal (GI) diseases have a high prevalence of depression, stress, anxiety, and impaired central nervous system functioning. Therefore, this study aims to explore the factors associated with the self-reported gastrointestinal problems among the Indian elderly and to explore the relatio…
Diagnosis and Treatment of Hypertension Among People Aged 45 Years and Over in India
Introduction: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the single largest contributor to non-communicable disease (NCD) deaths, with hypertension contributing to a significant proportion of these deaths. This study aims to provide estimates of the prevalence, awareness, treatment and control of hypertension at sub-national levels in India and identifies well and under-performing states with respect to the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension. Methods: …
Sex differences in child health and healthcare
India has an unenviable reputation as one of the world's most gender disparate countries. Previous studies of sex bias in childhood have shown large differences between Indian boys and girls in immunization and curative healthcare, but little difference in health status as indicated by anaemia and stunting. India has changed rapidly in past decades, hence we reappraise the situation with the National Family Health Survey-4 (2015-16). We found no …
Impact Evaluation of Integrated Child Development Services in Rural India
The objective of this study is to estimate the impact of Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) on the institutional delivery and on the nutritional status of children in rural India. Propensity score matching is used to remove selection bias, and then compare the outcome of those who received the ICDS services with those who did not receive. A representative sample of 32,072 women age 15 to 49 years was obtained from the National Family He…
Effectiveness of government strategies for financial protection against costs of hospitalization Care in India
Periodic surveys are essential to guide policy choices regarding the appropriate mix of strategies for financial protection in pluralistic systems. There is a need for caution regarding any shift in the role of governments from providing services to purchasing care, given the contexts and limitations of currently available PFHIs. Even with tax-funded public services, although the average OOPE is lower than the care purchased through PFHIs, there …
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 …
Role of Maternal and Child Health Care Services on Postpartum Contraceptive Adoption in India
The aim of this article is to examine the impact of maternal and child health care (MCH) service utilization on the timing of initiation and type of contraceptive use in the subsequent months after delivery of the most recent child. The required data were extracted from India’s third round of National Family Health Survey conducted during 2005-2006, which first time provides the 5 years retrospective monthly information about contraceptive histor…
