The India State-Level Disease Burden Initiative Report reveals that the medical condition that kills the most Indians is heart disease, followed by respiratory diseases and diarrhea. Here’s a look which states have the most deaths caused by these diseases.
Heart disease
Ischemic heart disease, a lifestyle-related cardiovascular disease, is more prevalent in higher-income states like Punjab and Tamil Nadu where death rate is nearly double the national average.
In the poorer states with lower per capita income, diarrhoea is the biggest danger.
Air pollution
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a lung ailment characterized by long-term breathing problems and poor airflow, is a big threat too – particularly in the northern and western states
