Clustering of hypertension and clustering of diabetes at the household level and variations in disease awareness within households in India: findings from a nationally representative household survey

Given the disproportionate amount of India's total case burden of hypertension and diabetes concentrated within clustered households, our findings underscore the importance of targeting households for interventions of hypertension and diabetes management in addition to interventions targeting individuals. Our findings may equip health systems with information on patterns of concentrated pockets of undiagnosed disease burden within households and may help in designing intensified interventions for rapid progress towards Sustainable Development Goal V.3.4.
