<div style="text-align: justify"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify">The latest WHO report entitled <em>World Health Statistics 2014 </em>delineates the performance made on the <a href="https://im4change.in/hunger-hdi/public-health-51.html" title="https://im4change.in/hunger-hdi/public-health-51.html">health</a> front by India vis-à-vis other nations between 1990 and 2012. It also presents the challenges that the new government at the Centre should try to resolve. In India, life expectancy at birth (both sexes, in years) has increased from 58 in 1990 to 66 in 2012. While life expectancy at birth for men rose from 57 in 1990 to 64 in 2012, the same for women rose from 58 in 1990 to 68 in 2012, says the report.</div><p style="text-align: justify"> </p><p style="text-align: justify">Similarly, life expectancy at age 60 (both sexes, in years) rose from 15 in 1990 to 17 in 2012. While life expectancy at age 60 for men rose from 14 in 1990 to 16 in 2012, the same for women rose from 16 in 1990 to 18 in 2012. It can be discerned from <strong>table 1</strong> that life expectancy at birth during 2012 in India still lagged behind that in Brazil, China and Sri Lanka.</p><p style="text-align: justify"><img src="https://im4change.in/siteadmin/tinymce/uploaded/Table_1.jpg" alt="Table" width="664" height="149" /></p><p> </p><div style="text-align: justify"><em><strong>Source: </strong>World Health Statistics 2014,</em></div><div style="text-align: justify"><a href="http://www.who.int/gho/publications/world_health_statistics/2014/en/" title="http://www.who.int/gho/publications/world_health_statistics/2014/en/">http://www.who.int/gho/publications/world_health_statistic<br />s/2014/en/</a></div><p> </p><p style="text-align: justify">A large number of factors are responsible for the improvement in life expectancy of Indians that includes decline in both child mortality rate and maternal mortality ratio.</p><p style="text-align: justify">The new WHO report reveals that the average annual rate of decline (AARD) in Under-five Mortality Rate between 1990 and 2012 was 56 percent in India as compared to 14 percent in China, 41 percent in Bangladesh, 42 percent in Nepal, 10 percent in Sri Lanka and 86 percent in Pakistan. </p><p style="text-align: justify">Under-five Mortality Rate (probability of dying by age 5 per 1000 live births, both sexes) in India declined from 126 in 1990 to 92 in 2000 and further to 56 in 2012. Similarly, Infant Mortality Rate (probability of dying by age 1 per 1000 live births, both sexes) declined from 88 in 1990 to 67 in 2000 and further to 44 in 2012. Neonatal Mortality Rate (probability of dying in the first month of life, expressed per 1,000 live births) at the national level (both sexes) fell from 51 in 1990 to 31 in 2012.</p><p style="text-align: justify">The number of deaths among children below 5 years age has declined from 24.17 lakh in 2000 to 14.07 lakh in 2012. The main causes of deaths among Indian children below 5 years of age in 2012 are diarrhoea (11 percent), acute respiratory infections (14 percent), prematurity (27 percent), Intrapartum-related complications (11 percent), neonatal sepsis (8 percent), congenital anomalies (6 percent), injuries (4 percent), measles (2 percent) and other diseases (16 percent). The WHO report reveals that measles immunization coverage among 1 year olds in India is less than the target of 90% coverage by 2015 as was set at the 2010 World Health Assembly.</p><p style="text-align: justify">The average annual rate of decline (AARD) in maternal mortality ratio between 1990 and 2013 was 190 percent in India as compared to 32 percent in China, 170 percent in Bangladesh, 190 percent in Nepal, 29 percent in Sri Lanka and 170 percent in Pakistan.

There is still a major rich-poor divide: people in high-income countries continue to have a much better chance of living longer than people in low-income countries.</p><p style="text-align: justify">* A girl born in 2012 can expect to live around 73 years and a boy to the age of 68.

It also presents the challenges that the new government at the Centre should try to resolve. In India, life expectancy at birth (both sexes, in years) has increased from 58 in 1990 to 66 in 2012. While life expectancy at birth for men rose from 57 in 1990 to 64 in 2012, the same for women rose from 58 in 1990 to 68 in 2012, says the report.</div><p style="text-align: justify"> </p><p style="text-align: justify">Similarly, life expectancy at age 60 (both sexes, in years) rose from 15 in 1990 to 17 in 2012. While life expectancy at age 60 for men rose from 14 in 1990 to 16 in 2012, the same for women rose from 16 in 1990 to 18 in 2012.

Similarly, Infant Mortality Rate (probability of dying by age 1 per 1000 live births, both sexes) declined from 88 in 1990 to 67 in 2000 and further to 44 in 2012. Neonatal Mortality Rate (probability of dying in the first month of life, expressed per 1,000 live births) at the national level (both sexes) fell from 51 in 1990 to 31 in 2012.</p><p style="text-align: justify">The number of deaths among children below 5 years age has declined from 24.17 lakh in 2000 to 14.07 lakh in 2012. The main causes of deaths among Indian children below 5 years of age in 2012 are diarrhoea (11 percent), acute respiratory infections (14 percent), prematurity (27 percent), Intrapartum-related complications (11 percent), neonatal sepsis (8 percent), congenital anomalies (6 percent), injuries (4 percent), measles (2 percent) and other diseases (16 percent). The WHO report reveals that measles immunization coverage among 1 year olds in India is less than the target of 90% coverage by 2015 as was set at the 2010 World Health Assembly.</p><p style="text-align: justify">The average annual rate of decline (AARD) in maternal mortality ratio between 1990 and 2013 was 190 percent in India as compared to 32 percent in China, 170 percent in Bangladesh, 190 percent in Nepal, 29 percent in Sri Lanka and 170 percent in Pakistan.

NEWS ALERTS | Average Indian lives longer now: WHO
Published on May 22, 2014
Modified on May 23, 2016
The latest WHO report entitled World Health Statistics 2014 delineates the performance made on the health front by India vis-à-vis other nations between 1990 and 2012. It also presents the challenges that the new government at the Centre should try to resolve. In India, life expectancy at birth (both sexes, in years) has increased from 58 in 1990 to 66 in 2012. While life expectancy at birth for men rose from 57 in 1990 to 64 in 2012, the same for women rose from 58 in 1990 to 68 in 2012, says the report.
Similarly, life expectancy at age 60 (both sexes, in years) rose from 15 in 1990 to 17 in 2012. While life expectancy at age 60 for men rose from 14 in 1990 to 16 in 2012, the same for women rose from 16 in 1990 to 18 in 2012. It can be discerned from table 1 that life expectancy at birth during 2012 in India still lagged behind that in Brazil, China and Sri Lanka.
A large number of factors are responsible for the improvement in life expectancy of Indians that includes decline in both child mortality rate and maternal mortality ratio.
The new WHO report reveals that the average annual rate of decline (AARD) in Under-five Mortality Rate between 1990 and 2012 was 56 percent in India as compared to 14 percent in China, 41 percent in Bangladesh, 42 percent in Nepal, 10 percent in Sri Lanka and 86 percent in Pakistan.
Under-five Mortality Rate (probability of dying by age 5 per 1000 live births, both sexes) in India declined from 126 in 1990 to 92 in 2000 and further to 56 in 2012. Similarly, Infant Mortality Rate (probability of dying by age 1 per 1000 live births, both sexes) declined from 88 in 1990 to 67 in 2000 and further to 44 in 2012. Neonatal Mortality Rate (probability of dying in the first month of life, expressed per 1,000 live births) at the national level (both sexes) fell from 51 in 1990 to 31 in 2012.
The number of deaths among children below 5 years age has declined from 24.17 lakh in 2000 to 14.07 lakh in 2012. The main causes of deaths among Indian children below 5 years of age in 2012 are diarrhoea (11 percent), acute respiratory infections (14 percent), prematurity (27 percent), Intrapartum-related complications (11 percent), neonatal sepsis (8 percent), congenital anomalies (6 percent), injuries (4 percent), measles (2 percent) and other diseases (16 percent). The WHO report reveals that measles immunization coverage among 1 year olds in India is less than the target of 90% coverage by 2015 as was set at the 2010 World Health Assembly.
The average annual rate of decline (AARD) in maternal mortality ratio between 1990 and 2013 was 190 percent in India as compared to 32 percent in China, 170 percent in Bangladesh, 190 percent in Nepal, 29 percent in Sri Lanka and 170 percent in Pakistan. Maternal mortality ratio (defined as the number of maternal deaths per 1 lakh live births) has declined from 560 in 1990 to 370 in 2000 and further to 190 in 2013.
The percentage of births attended by skilled health personnel in India is less than the target of 90% coverage by 2015 as was set by the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD+5). The percentage of births attended by skilled health personnel was 67 percent during 2006-2013.
The percentage of women who received antenatal care from skilled health personnel at least once and at least four times during pregnancy are both less than the target of 100% coverage by 2015 as was set by the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD+5). The percentage of women who received antenatal care from skilled health personnel at least once was 75 percent and at least 4 times was 50 percent during 2006-2013.
The average annual rate of decline (AARD) in HIV prevalence (i.e. HIV infections per 1 lakh population per year) between 2001 and 2012 was 169 percent in India as compared to 5 percent in Bangladesh, 177 percent in Nepal, 14 percent in Sri Lanka and 48 percent in Pakistan.
The average annual rate of decline (AARD) in tuberculosis mortality rate between 1990 and 2012 was 22 percent in India as compared to 3.2 percent in China, 45 percent in Bangladesh, 20 percent in Nepal, 1.1 percent in Sri Lanka and 34 percent in Pakistan.
The key findings of the report World Health Statistics 2014 are as follows:
Indian scenario

* High-income countries have an average of almost 90 nurses and midwives for every 10 000 people while some low-income countries have fewer than 2 per 10 000 people.
* People everywhere are living longer, mostly because fewer children are dying, certain diseases are in check, and tobacco use is down, but conditions in low-income countries continue to plague life quality there.
* Nearly 18,000 children worldwide died every day in 2012, according to the findings, with large inequities remaining in child mortality between high-income and low-income countries. There is still a major rich-poor divide: people in high-income countries continue to have a much better chance of living longer than people in low-income countries.
* A girl born in 2012 can expect to live around 73 years and a boy to the age of 68. That is six years longer than the average life span for a child in 1990.
* Women live longer than men in general, but in high-income countries the difference is around six years, while in low-income countries, the average falls to three years. A girl born in 2012 in a high-income country can expect to live to the age of around 82, which is 19 years longer than a girl born in a low-income country. The difference for boys is 16 years.
* In high-income countries, much of the gain in life expectancy is due to success in tackling noncommunicable diseases.
* With one year to go until the 2015 target date for achieving the anti-poverty targets known as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), substantial progress has been made on many health-related goals.
* The global target of halving the proportion of people without access to improved sources of drinking water was met in 2010, with remarkable progress also having been made in reducing child mortality, improving nutrition, and combating HIV, tuberculosis and malaria.
* Geographically, women in Japan live the longest, with an average life expectancy of 87 years, followed by Spain, Switzerland and Singapore at 85 years. The average lifespan of men is highest in Iceland at 81 years.
* Life expectancy for both men and women is still less than 55 years in nine sub-Saharan African countries, including Angola, Central African Republic, Chad, Côte d'Ivoire, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lesotho, Mozambique, Nigeria and Sierra Leone.
