The incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among young adults in India has surged to alarming levels in recent years, underscoring the urgent need for heightened awareness and comprehensive health coverage. A recent report by The Lancet titled ‘The Burgeoning Cardiovascular Disease Epidemic in Indians,’ reveals that the country faces a significantly higher CVD burden compared to global averages, with an age-standardized death rate of 282 per 100,000—considerably higher than the global average of 233 per 100,000. Additionally, the age-standardized disability-adjusted life years (DALY) rate due to CVD in India is 1.3 times the global average.
In response to this concerning trend, Mr. Ajay Shah, Head of Distribution at Care Health Insurance, stated, “Heart ailments, once predominantly associated with older populations, are now affecting young adults at an alarming rate.” Care Health Insurance’s bouquet of innovative offerings is carefully designed to give comprehensive coverage to ailments, including heart diseases.
