Regional Disparities & Trends in Hypertension among women in India: A comprehensive alaysis based on NHFS-5

Author(s) Ms. SHRUTI SINGH
Country India
Abstract Hypertension remains a significant health challenge and a key risk factor for cardiovascular diseases worldwide. Among Indian women aged 15 to 49 years, the prevalence of hypertension is increasing, yet many cases remain undiagnosed and untreated, particularly across various regions of the country. This study utilizes data from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5, 2019–21) to examine the prevalence of hypertension among reproductive-age women and investigate the influence of socio-demographic factors such as age, education, place of residence, and economic status on hypertension risk. Analyzing a sample of 724,115 women through cross-sectional secondary data analysis and multivariate logistic regression, the research identifies an overall hypertension prevalence of 18.7%, with notable regional differences—Kerala and Punjab reporting the highest rates. The analysis further reveals that older age, urban living, higher wealth, and lower education levels significantly increase the likelihood of hypertension. For instance, women aged 45–49 years face over five times greater odds of hypertension compared to younger women aged 15–24. Urban residents and those without formal education also show elevated risks. These findings emphasize the urgent need for region-specific health interventions, enhanced screening efforts, and improved access to hypertension care to address the disparities affecting vulnerable populations across India.
Keywords Hypertension, Indian women, reproductive age, regional disparities, socio-demographic factors, NFHS-5, cardiovascular risk, urban-rural differences, health inequality, public health intervention.
