Hi There,

I am trying to learn about the trend related to Non-communicable diseases among the Indian population using NFHS surveys. I have seen the NFHS-4 and NFHS-5 reports and datasets. The values of BP and Glucose are given in these datasets. However, I am not able to find any data or questions related to these parameters i.e., blood pressure and glucose in NFHS-3 dataset. Can anyone tell me which variables corresponds to Blood Pressure and Blood Glucose values in NFHS-3 dataset. If these values are not given in the dataset, are there any questions related to hypertension and diabetes in the NFHS-3 dataset? Were Blood Pressure and Glucose levels measured in NFHS-1 and NFHS-2 survey?

NFHS-1, NFHS-2, and NFHS-3 did not include blood pressure measurements or blood glucose measurements. Aside from height and weight, the only biomarker measurements in NFHS-2 and NFHS-3 were for anaemia measurements. NFHS-1 did not include anaemia measurements either.

When you are looking for any variables across the five NFHS surveys, it is best to check on the final reports for each survey, which include all of the questionnaires, as well as the tables and figures. The questionnaires for NFHS-3 are in Volume II of the NFHS-3 final report.

You can find all of the final reports online at dhsprogram.com. Just click on the country you are looking for and you will find the final reports.
