The Phase-1 findings of the 5th edition of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) were recently released. For the first time, the survey captured data on the proportion of the adult population suffering from lifestyle-induced diseases like Diabetes & Hypertension. The data reveals the growing risk of such diseases in India. Here is a detailed review.

The Ministry of Health & Family Welfare recently released key findings of  Phase-1 of the National Family and Health Survey 2019-20 (NFHS-5). This is the fifth edition of the survey. Phase-1 includes fact sheets for 17 states and 5 union territories. Phase-II which constitutes the rest of the States/UTs is delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic in the country.

The survey provides estimates for 131 key indicators across various categories of Population & Household profile, Marriage & Fertility, Maternal & Child Health, Nutrition, Women Empowerment, etc. While most of the indicators remained the same from NFHS-4 to facilitate comparison, there are also new indicators that were introduced in NFHS-5.  Among the new indicators that were introduced in this survey are ‘Blood Sugar Levels among Adults’ and ‘Hypertension among adults’. Persons of age 15 years or above are surveyed for this purpose.

In this story, we take a look at the key findings for these indicators which are a reflection of the lifestyle and health of the population. It ought to be noted that NFHS is a sample survey and the sample size varies across the states. The sample size for each of the states is provided in the fact sheets of the respective states.

These estimates are based on the Clinical, Anthropometric & Biochemical testing (CAB) conducted on the participants of the survey.
