Population ageing is rapidly becoming a global issue and will have major impact on health policies programmes. The World Health Organization's Study AGEing adult (SAGE) aims to address the gap in reliable data scientific knowledge low- middle-income countries. SAGE longitudinal study with nationally representative samples of persons aged 50+ years China, Ghana, India, Mexico, Russia South Africa, smaller sample adults 18–49 each country for comparisons. Instruments are compatible other large...
The association of air pollution with multiple adverse health outcomes is becoming well established, but its negative economic impact less appreciated. It important to elucidate this for the states India.
Chronic diseases contribute a large share of disease burden in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). have tendency to occur simultaneously where there are two or more such conditions, this is termed as 'multimorbidity'. Multimorbidity associated with adverse health outcomes, but limited research has been undertaken LMICs. Therefore, study examines the prevalence correlates multimorbidity well associations between self-rated health, activities daily living (ADLs), quality life, depression...
Quality of life (QoL) is increasingly being recognized as an important outcome for rehabilitation programs, and has mainly been used to compare the efficacy interventions or amputees with other diseased populations. There relatively a limited number studies primarily focusing on analyzing multitude factors influencing QoL in amputees.To identify background amputation related which affect quality lower limb amputees, profile amputees' that general population.Cross-sectional.Lower 18 years...
In 2010 falls were responsible for approximately 80 % of disability stemming from unintentional injuries excluding traffic accidents in adults 50 years and over. Falls are becoming a major public health problem low- middle-income countries (LMICs) where populations ageing rapidly. Nationally representative standardized data collected aged over participating the World Health Organization (WHO) Study on global AGEing adult (SAGE) Wave 1 China, Ghana, India, Mexico, Russian Federation South...
In this paper, we examine patterns of self-reported diagnosis noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and prevalences algorithm/measured test-based, undiagnosed, untreated NCDs in China, Ghana, India, Mexico, Russia, South Africa. Nationally representative samples older adults aged ≥50 years were analyzed from wave 1 the World Health Organization's Study on Global Ageing Adult (2007–2010; n = 34,149). Analyses focused 6 conditions: angina, arthritis, asthma, chronic lung disease, depression,...
Background Back pain is a common disabling chronic condition that burdens individuals, families and societies. Epidemiological evidence, mainly from high-income countries, shows positive association between back prevalence older age. There an urgent need for accurate epidemiological data on in adult populations low- middle-income countries (LMICs) where are ageing rapidly. The objectives of this study to: measure the pain; identify risk factors determinants associated with pain, describe...

Omran's theory explains changing disease patterns over time predominantly from infectious to chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). India's epidemiological transition is characterized by dual burden of diseases. Kumar addressed low mortality and high morbidity in Kerala, which seems also be true for India as a country the current demographic scenario.NSS data (1986-1987, 1995-1996, 2004) aggregated on causes death provided Registrar General (RGI) were used examine structural changes death....
Little information exists about the loss of all one’s teeth (edentulism) among older adults in low- and middle-income countries. This study examines prevalence edentulism associated factors a cross-sectional across six such Data from World Health Organization (WHO’s) Study on global AGEing adult health (SAGE) Wave 1 was used for this with aged 50-plus China (N = 13,367), Ghana 4724), India 7150), Mexico 2315), Russian Federation 3938) South Africa 3840).

This article describes the prevalence of multi-morbidity and its association with self-rated functional health using Longitudinal Aging Study in India (LASI), Pilot survey, 2010 data, on 1,683 older adults aged 45+. The is assessed as count self-reported chronic diseases for an adult. Limitations activities daily living (ADL) are used a measure health. Zero-inflated Poisson regression estimated to examine covariates multi-morbidity. Moreover, logit models assess Results depict large...
Why was the cohort set up?Population ageing, which entails an increasing share of older persons in a population, represents unprecedented global demographic transformation and is expected to intensify during remainder 21st century.India, home 1.38 billion people, 1 undergoing population ageing at much faster rate than expected.In 2011, elderly aged 60 accounted for 8.6% total India, numbering 103 million people. 2 This projected rise 19.5% (319 people) by 2050. Including pre-retirement...
Household air pollution (HAP) presents numerous health challenges. The association between HAP and sleep problems has not been extensively studied. This paper examined the effect of due to solid fuel use on among older adults in India. Data from initial phase Longitudinal Aging Study India, which included 51,060 individuals aged 50 years older, was utilised. Sleep were defined as experiencing difficulty falling asleep, waking up during night, or too early at least five times per week...

How presence or absence classic affects lifetime estimates disease and death from any cause remains unclear.MethodsWe harmonized individual-level data 2,078,948 participants across 133 cohorts, 39 countries, 6 continents. Lifetime was estimated up to 90 years age according arterial hypertension, hyperlipidemia, underweight overweight obesity, diabetes, smoking at 50 age. Differences in life...
