NEW DELHI: The risk of being hospitalised in India doubles after the age of 45 and rises sharply among the elderly, signalling a shift in the country’s healthcare burden, according to the latest National Sample Survey Office (NSO) data for the last 365 days.The survey shows that hospitalisation rates climb from 23 per 1,000 people in the 30–44 age group to 42 per 1,000 among those aged 45–59, and then nearly double again to 81 per 1,000 in those aged 60 and above. In comparison, only 15 per 1,000 people aged 15–29 required hospital care over the year. Hospitalisation among children aged 0–4 (34 per 1,000) is also higher than among adolescents and young adults, pointing to a dual burden at the two ends of the age spectrum.The data point to a clear transition, with healthcare demand increasingly driven by middle-aged and older populations. Experts say this reflects a rising burden of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart conditions and respiratory illnesses, which become more common with age and often require hospital treatment.“The sharp rise in hospitalisation after 45 reflects a systemic gap in preventive healthcare. Lifestyle diseases like diabetes, hypertension, obesity, fatty liver and heart disease are accumulating earlier, but structured screening and risk modification are not keeping pace,” said Dr Rommel Tickoo, Director, Internal Medicine, Max Hospital, Saket.“If India invests in early detection, routine metabolic screening, cardiovascular risk assessment, and primary care strengthening, we can significantly reduce avoidable hospital admissions in later decades,” he added.State-wise differences are stark. Kerala reports among the highest hospitalisation rates, with about 186 elderly persons per 1,000 admitted in a year—more than double the national average. Other regions such as Lakshadweep and Tripura also show elevated levels, while some northeastern states report lower rates. Experts say higher rates in states like Kerala may also reflect better access to healthcare and higher detection of illnesses.Among the elderly, hospitalisation rates are higher for men (93 per 1,000) than women (69 per 1,000), while differences are smaller or reversed in younger age groups.The trend highlights growing pressure on hospitals as India’s population ages. With more people living longer and developing long-term conditions, demand for inpatient care is expected to rise further in the coming years.The NSO data, based on hospitalisations over the past year (excluding childbirth), underline the need for stronger primary healthcare, early detection and better management of chronic diseases to reduce avoidable hospital admissions. The findings suggest India’s healthcare needs are shifting rapidly towards middle-aged and elderly populations.About the AuthorAnuja JaiswalAnuja Jaiswal is a Senior Assistant Editor at The Times of India, with an impressive 18-year career in narrative journalism.

NEW DELHI: Even as the Supreme Court has stepped in to examine how brain death is certified in India, asking for an expert committee from AIIMS to weigh in on whether additional tests such as electroencephalogram (EEG) and angiogram are needed, experts say these may not be necessary as existing protocols already have adequate checks and balances.Hearing a petition alleging malpractices in brain death certification, a two-judge bench said it would seek expert opinion from AIIMS on the safety and viability of such tests. The court asked the head of AIIMS’s neurology department to constitute a committee, which, according to sources, is yet to be formed.The plea, filed by Kerala-based medic and activist S Ganapathy, alleged that patients who may not be brain dead are sometimes declared so to facilitate organ donation. It also questioned the reliability of the apnea test—the standard method used to confirm brain death—calling it subjective and claiming that the legal requirement of videographing the procedure is often not followed.Under the existing legal framework, brain death certification follows a strictly defined protocol. Dr Manjari Tripathi, head of neurology at AIIMS, said the process is governed by Form 10 under the Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Act, 1994. “Brain stem death has to be certified by a panel of four independent doctors, including a neurologist or neurosurgeon, and confirmed twice with a minimum gap of six hours. The process is carried out with due diligence and seriousness,” she said.Experts said additional tests could add to the system burden. EEG is not routinely recommended for brainstem death certification, while angiogram is used only in select cases where the apnea test cannot be performed. Globally, the apnea test remains the gold standard. These criteria are clearly laid down and cannot be altered, said experts. Brain death is the irreversible loss of all brain function, including the brainstem; while the heart may continue to beat on life support, the person cannot breathe or regain consciousness and is medically considered dead, unlike in coma where some brain activity remains.The court’s move comes amid a persistent gap between potential and actual organ donation. Despite a large pool of potential donors, only about 1,100 deceased donations take place annually in India, or 0.77 per million population.A recent multi-institutional study, including researchers from AIIMS Delhi, Dr Deepak Gupta, found fewer than half of doctors had formal training in brain death certification and flagged inconsistencies in clinical practice, leading to under-recognition of eligible cases. These gaps often result in “silent brain deaths”, where patients meet criteria but are not formally declared, eliminating the possibility of organ donation.About the AuthorAnuja JaiswalAnuja Jaiswal is a Senior Assistant Editor at The Times of India, with an impressive 18-year career in narrative journalism.

NEW DELHI: Delhi chief minister Rekha Gupta on Sunday expressed deep sorrow over the loss of nine lives in a devastating fire that broke out in a residential building in the Vivek Vihar area of Shahdara in the national capital. In a post on X, the Delhi chief minister conveyed her condolences to the bereaved families and prayed for the speedy recovery of those injured in the incident. “The fire incident in a building in Vivek Vihar is extremely tragic. The loss of 9 lives in this accident has left me deeply distressed. Treatment of the injured in the accident is ongoing at the nearest hospital, and I pray for their swift recovery. In this hour of grief, my condolences are with the affected families. I pray to God to grant them the strength to endure this difficult time,” the Delhi CM wrote. According to Delhi Police, the fire broke out early Sunday morning in a four-storey residential building in Vivek Vihar, resulting in the death of nine people and leaving at least one person injured. Police said that five members of a family residing on the second floor lost their lives. The deceased have been identified as Arvind (60), his wife Anita Jain (58), their son Nishant Jain (35), daughter-in-law Anchal Jain (33) and their one-and-a-half-year-old grandson, Master Akash Jain. From the first floor, Shikha Jain (45) succumbed to the incident. Another family residing on the third floor also lost their lives in the tragic incident. The deceased include Nitin Jain (around 50 years), his wife Shailey Jain (around 48 years), and their son Samyak Jain (approximately 25 years). One injured individual, identified as Naveen Jain (48), is currently undergoing treatment at a nearby hospital, officials said. Meanwhile, BJP MLA from Shahdara, Sanjay Goyal, also expressed grief over the incident. He stated that a short circuit is suspected to be the primary cause of the fire, which broke out in a building located in Block B of Vivek Vihar and rapidly spread across all four floors, leading to the casualties.

In a post on X, the Delhi chief minister conveyed her condolences to the bereaved families and prayed for the speedy recovery of those injured in the incident. “The fire incident in a building in Vivek Vihar is extremely tragic. The loss of 9 lives in this accident has left me deeply distressed. Treatment of the injured in the accident is ongoing at the nearest hospital, and I pray for their swift recovery. In this hour of grief, my condolences are with the affected families. I pray to God to grant them the strength to endure this difficult time,” the Delhi CM wrote. According to Delhi Police, the fire broke out early Sunday morning in a four-storey residential building in Vivek Vihar, resulting in the death of nine people and leaving at least one person injured. Police said that five members of a family residing on the second floor lost their lives. The deceased have been identified as Arvind (60), his wife Anita Jain (58), their son Nishant Jain (35), daughter-in-law Anchal Jain (33) and their one-and-a-half-year-old grandson, Master Akash Jain. From the first floor, Shikha Jain (45) succumbed to the incident. Another family residing on the third floor also lost their lives in the tragic incident. The deceased include Nitin Jain (around 50 years), his wife Shailey Jain (around 48 years), and their son Samyak Jain (approximately 25 years). One injured individual, identified as Naveen Jain (48), is currently undergoing treatment at a nearby hospital, officials said. Meanwhile, BJP MLA from Shahdara, Sanjay Goyal, also expressed grief over the incident. He stated that a short circuit is suspected to be the primary cause of the fire, which broke out in a building located in Block B of Vivek Vihar and rapidly spread across all four floors, leading to the casualties. Authorities are continuing their investigation into the exact cause of the fire, while rescue and relief efforts remain ongoing.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosIAF Rescues Two Children Stranded On Water Tank in Siddharthnagar, UP Using Mi-17 HelicopterMassive Fire in Delhi’s Vivek Vihar Building, 9 Dead as Rescue Operations Continue in ShahdaraPune Child Rape-Murder Sparks Protests, Highway Blocked Near Navale Bridge‘Reminder To Those Who Misuse State Power’: Pawan Khera Jabs Assam CM After SC Anticipatory BailUS Retains India on Special 301 Priority Watch List, Flags Patent Regime, Enforcement GapsCourt Rejects Nida Khan’s Anticipatory Bail in TCS Nashik Harassment and Conversion CaseCensus 2027 To Begin In UP From May 2026 With 5 Lakh Personnel, & Caste Data InclusionHome Minister Amit Shah Meets Sonam Wangchuk & Other Leaders in Leh Ahead Of TalksChhattisgarh IED Blast Kills 4 DRG Personnel During Defusal Operation Near Kanker-Narayanpur BorderIndia-Bound LPG Tanker Sarv Shakti On The Move Across Strait Of Hormuz: Why It Matters?123PhotostoriesDiljit Dosanjh fashion: 5 iconic looks that broke style rulesFrom firing near Kapil Sharma’s Kap’s Cafe to Bishnoi gang’s warning: All you need to know about the ongoing controversyThe 10-minute smart freezer tricks you will wish you knew before every vacationAkshay Kumar, Sonakshi Sinha, Ajay Devgn, Ranbir Kapoor: Celebs who love pulling pranks on co-stars17-year-old ‘Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2025’: 7 stunning photosPrincess Charlotte celebrates 11th birthday: 5 interesting facts about the Princess who’s an equal in the league of Queen Elizabeth II7 life lessons from Sundar Pichai that actually apply to your everyday lifeHow to make South Indian Onion Uttapam for Sunday breakfastRoyal deja vu! 5 times Queen Camilla’s wardrobe looked strikingly similar to Princess Diana’s10 beautiful and unique baby girl names with the letter “S”123Hot PicksAssam key constituenciesKerala key constituenciesPuducherry election resultsTamil Nadu constituenciesAjay Pal SharmaBengal Poll RecordHimanta Biswa SarmaTop TrendingUS Germany relationsBank Holiday MayVande Bharat expressLPG cylinder price hikeMumbai missing linkPetrol, Diesel, LPG priceCBSE Class 12th ResultNEET 2026: Exam-day guideBSE AP SSC Class 10th ResultIPL Orange Cap
