Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies, 9 Bow Street, Cambridge, MA, 02138, USA.
While there is evidence of morbidity compression in many countries, temporal patterns of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in developing countries, such as India, are less clear. Age at onset of disease offers insights to understanding epidemiologic trends and is a key input for public health programs. Changes in age at onset and duration of major NCDs were estimated for 2004 (n = 38,044) and 2018 (n = 43,239) using health surveys from the India National Sample Survey (NSS).
