Opis

India s current health transition stage poses a critical challenge of dealing with the unfinished agenda of communicable diseases and the steadily rising burden of non-communicable diseases. A significant burden of chronic diseases in India is attributable to household and individual level health risk factors coupled with socioeconomic conditions. From this perspective, this study made a first time effort to assess disease burden attributable to health risk factors using cross-sectional population health survey data.
