Economic and Political WeeklySummary: Urban health outcomes are characterised by an epidemiologically diverse disease burden and an unequal distribution of the same, which mirrors these contrasts. This paper does a preliminary investigation of disease profiles across size-class of urban settlements in India, with a special focus on non-communicable diseases, using data from the 75th round of the National Sample Survey. This is the first such attempt using nationally representative data. This work has the potential to inform health as well as integrated urban development policies in the country. The work also holds lessons for the expansionary private health sector, which often underserves the smaller urban settlements. – Reproduced
