1. Education gradient in differential health reporting error among older adults in India

abstract

This paper studies the education gradient associated with health reporting errors for two highly prevalent non-communicable diseases among older adults in India. We analyze a novel data set-the Longitudinal Aging Study in India (2017-18) panel survey-to unpack the sources of health reporting error in a developing-country context for the first time. Our analysis points to a statistically significant level of false negative reporting (or over-reporting) for both high blood pressure and depression by those with no schooling and less than middle school education relative to their more highly educated peers. Interestingly, this result is driven by those whose income is above the poverty line. We further find false negative reporting for high blood pressure to be more prevalent among women with no schooling.

4. India population report

abstract

India has become the largest populated country in the world in 2023 which has resulted in an increasing attention on India's population and its changing age structure, demographic transitions, and their long-term implications. 'India Population Report' is developed based on landmark surveys and research on population, health, ageing, fertility, nutrition, migration and women and children undertaken by the International Institute for Population Sciences (IIPS), India. This volume studies various aspects of population and health issues in India providing a holistic narrative of the current scenario and future implications. By utilising latest data and scientific evidence, chapters in this volume explain the achievements so far and examine the challenges ahead in respective fields, while identifying thrust areas for further research and action.

7. Double Burden of Nutritional Disorder Among Indian Women : An Assessment of Differentials and Determinants

abstract

Research question: In India, over the years, the progress in women's nutritional status has been less impressive and remains as a major problem for health policy. The dual burden of nutritional disorder of women in India is posing a serious challenge not only for nutritional policy but also for socio-economic and welfare policies. Therefore, this study assess the determinants of double nutritional disorders among Indian women and consequential within group deviations and between group differences.Data and Methodology: Third round of National Family Health Survey (NFHS-3, 2005-06) data, descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviations and multivariate statistics such as multinomial logistic regression and Multiple Classifications Analysis (MCA) are used for the purpose of this study.Results and Conclusion: The existing socio-economic and behavioural differences and consequential obligations that women face threaten the nutritional balance in India. Obliteration of these anomalies is important to ensure the balanced nutritional status for women in India
