Abstract

With India's population ageing, adult health challenges are becoming more and more prevalent. LASI is an important national milestone in scientific study that aids in this understanding. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) of the Government of India established LASI to provide an essential framework for research and policy-making on ageing in India. At the national and sub-national levels, research on demographics, health, the economics of the ageing transition, and other factors will be aided by the longitudinal data from the LASI. The underlying (physical, emotional, economic, and social) problems that older persons face were identified with the help of this study. It will assist in addressing these problems and creating a strategy to lessen their effects on senior citizens.
