Abstract

 

In this paper, an attempt is made to understand the levels and patterns of chronic morbidity among senior citizens in India, and their hospitalisation using the National Sample Survey (71st round) which was conducted in 2014. This paper also explores the gender and spatial dimensions of chronic morbidity in India. Evidences suggested that urgent steps are required to reduce the prevalence rate of chronic morbidity among elderly in the country.
