Hypertension has emerged as one of the most significant public health challenges in India, contributing substantially to the growing burden of cardiovascular diseases, stroke, kidney disorders, and premature mortality. Despite advancements in healthcare infrastructure and policy interventions, disparities in hypertension awareness, treatment, and control continue to persist across regions, socioeconomic groups, and demographic categories. This book presents a comprehensive spatial analysis of hypertension in India using data from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5), 2019-21. It examines the geographical distribution and regional inequalities associated with hypertension awareness, treatment-seeking behaviour, and effective control among the Indian population. By integrating demographic, socioeconomic, behavioural, and spatial dimensions, the study highlights critical hotspots and vulnerable populations requiring targeted public health interventions. The book employs advanced statistical and geospatial techniques to explore patterns of hypertension prevalence and management across states and districts of India. It further investigates the influence of factors such as age, gender, education, wealth status, urban-rural residence, and healthcare accessibility on hypertension outcomes. Through maps, spatial clustering methods, and analytical interpretations, the study provides valuable insights into the unequal burden of non-communicable diseases in India. Designed for researchers, public health professionals, geographers, policymakers, students, and healthcare practitioners, this book contributes to the growing discourse on spatial epidemiology and evidence-based health planning. It also offers policy recommendations for strengthening awareness programs, improving treatment adherence, and enhancing hypertension control strategies in underserved regions.
