The life expectancy for Dalits and Adivasis is similar to those of the poorest countries in the world

The life expectancies of Adivasis and Dalits in India are significantly lower than upper-caste Hindus, a new study reported using decade-old government data on 20 million individuals from nine states.

The life expectancy differences of more than four years in Adivasis, three years in Dalits and one year among Muslims as against upper-caste Hindus could not be explained on the basis of wealth or environmental exposures, the scientists said, ssuggesting that the difference may be rooted in discriminatory social practices.

With economic status accounting for less than half of the life expectancy gaps, the results highlight the need to address social inequalities in India.

The researchers used India’s Annual Health Survey data from Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, representing 20 million individuals from 4 million households.
