Mumbai, April 7: 7he occasion of World Health Day, Thyrocare Technologies Limited (NSE: THYROCARE, BSE: 539871), a leading healthcare diagnostics company and one of the first in India to achieve 100% NABL accreditation across all its laboratories, has unveiled the Bharat Aarogyam Score—one of the country’s largest real-world preventive health analyses.
The study is based on over 93 lakh health checkups conducted between 2023 and 2025 and highlights a significant prevalence of silent health risks across the population. According to the findings, more than 9 out of 10 individuals show early signs of at least one health condition, with a majority exhibiting multiple overlapping risk factors.
Comprehensive Health Risk Assessment
The Bharat Aarogyam Score evaluates 10 key health condition groups, including:
- Cancer risk indicators
- Diabetes (HbA1c)
- Heart health (cholesterol, triglycerides)
- Hemoglobin and iron levels
- Kidney and liver function
- Thyroid function
- Vitamin D and Vitamin B12 deficiencies
Multiple Health Risks on the Rise
The report reveals that health risks rarely occur in isolation:
- Over 90% show risk for at least one condition
- Over 80% for at least two conditions
- Over 60% for at least three conditions
- Nearly 40% for at least four conditions
- Nearly 20% for five or more conditions
These findings indicate a growing trend of overlapping health risks among individuals.
Early Onset of Non-Communicable Diseases
The analysis highlights that non-communicable diseases such as heart conditions and diabetes are emerging earlier than expected:
- Heart health risks rise sharply in the 21–40 age group
- Diabetes risk more than doubles by the 40s
- Kidney risk nearly doubles after 60
- Thyroid imbalance shows a steady increase across age groups
Gender-Based Health Trends
The study also identifies notable gender differences:
- Low hemoglobin prevalence is approximately 2.5× higher in females
- Liver abnormalities are 1.5× higher in males
- Thyroid imbalance is only 1.4× higher in females
- Vitamin B12 deficiency is 1.4× higher in males
Leadership Insights
Rahul Guha, MD & CEO, Thyrocare, said,
“India is not sick, India is unaware. Our data shows that 9 out of 10 people carry silent health risks they are unaware of. Prevention must become a habit, not an afterthought.”
Rajdeep Panwar, Chief Commercial Officer, added,
“The Bharat Aarogyam Score highlights overlapping risks and emphasizes the need for a holistic approach to preventive healthcare.”
Dr. Preet Kaur, Chief Scientific Officer, noted,
“This is a wake-up call. Heart disease and diabetes are no longer limited to middle age—they are increasingly affecting individuals in their 20s and 30s.”
Driving Preventive Healthcare Awareness
As India’s healthcare landscape evolves, the findings underscore the urgent need for increased awareness around preventive healthcare. Early detection, regular health monitoring, and informed lifestyle choices can play a crucial role in improving long-term health outcomes.
