Abstract

Abstract: Morbidity is the occurrence of ill-health that is the effects of various diseases on the population or it can be defined as the “disease load”. . It is derived from the literatures that morbidity patterns are used generally for assessing the burden of disease. India has achieved significant gains in life expectancy in the last few decades but the overall health conditions appear to have worsened as it has very high prevalence of morbidity with considerable inter-state differences. The morbidity prevalence rate in India by age group shows ‘J’ shaped relationship between age and morbidity, which indicates that the children and the people in the higher age groups are more susceptible to the prevalence of morbidity (Kannan, et. al., 1991; Shariff, 1995; Gumber, 1997). There are many factors which influence morbidity condition and variation across states is seen in morbidity pattern. Variation in acute and chronic ailments is also seen more among women.
