Estimation of Diabetes-free Life Expectancy with respect to various Co-morbidities in Northeastern States of India

Abstract

Examining diabetes-free life expectancy in India, this study, based on Longitudinal Ageing Study in
India (LASI) WAVE-1 data, explores demographic and co-morbidity influences, particularly in the Northeast
India. Survival functions across five-year age groups reveal distinct patterns in the northeastern states. Results
emphasize the crucial role of independent and co-morbidity variables in understanding diabetes dynamics.
The study contributes insights into diabetes-free life expectancy, aiding policy-makers in
implementing targeted screening initiatives.
