Intellectual disability in India is substantially under-reported, especially amongst females. This study quantifies the prevalence and gender bias in household reporting of intellectual disability by estimating the age-and-gender specific prevalence of the intellectually disabled by education, Socio-Demographic Index (SDI) score, place of residence...
There were no estimates of the prevalence of pain and its treatment in the older population of India obtained from face-to-face interviews with a nationally representative sample. We addressed this evidence gap by using data on 63,931 individuals aged 45 years and older from the 2017/2018 Longitudinal Ageing Study in India. We identified pain from...
Importance:

A clear insight on the components of health expenditure may be necessary to make allocative decisions to reduce OOPE, and such details by sociodemographic group and state have not been studied in India.
Objective:
To analyze the re...

... To our knowledge, a limited number of micro-level studies have been conducted to estimate the prevalence of chronic pain [25][26][27] among Indian adults and associated risk factors of pain among specific population groups [28][29][30]. A recent study estimated that around 36.6% of the Indian population aged 45 + have often troubled with pain [31]. We didn't find any population representative studies that examine the association between pain and quality of life among middle-aged and older adults in India. ...
... Expenditure on drugs is the primary cause, and 80 per cent of this expenditure falls on outpatient care and only about 20 per cent on inpatient care [15]. For outpatients, medicines contributed to a mean of 60.3% of OOPE [74]. In Odisha, out of all outpatient visits, 86% of them resorted to private sector pharmacies [75,76]. ...
... In developing nations like India, access to private healthcare facilities increases out-of-pocket expenses (OOPE), which traps lower and middle-income people in a vicious cycle of poverty [7]. A previous study suggests that the cost of healthcare services is four times higher in private facilities than in public facilities in India [5,8]. ...
... For example, people with higher incomes were more likely to have access to higher-end healthcare products because high-end products were usually associated with higher selling prices, so the level of healthcare consumption of such residents was also relatively high [36]. Likewise, people with higher education levels and those with skill-oriented occupations generally had higher-end consumer demand, thereby increasing the level of healthcare consumption [37]. It can be seen that the improvement of residents' socioeconomic status would be accompanied by an increase in healthcare consumption expenditure. ...
