“…The present study reconfirms a similar pattern of disparity by castes and household WQ (Subramanian et al 2006;Po and Subramanian 2011;Saikia and Ram 2010). The mortality disadvantage among adults from deprived castes may be linked to higher prevalence of substance abuse (Saikia and Debbarma 2019), or economic and social discrimination (Banerjee and Knight 1985;Sil &Dhillon, 2017, Ira, Sen andYun, 2012). Previous studies also discussed the advantage of survival of the Muslim population in India.…”

The objective of this study is to analyze the pattern and risk factors of all-cause and externalcause mortality among adults in India. Using a nationally-representative, population-based survey, known as the National Family Health Survey, 2015-2016, we calculate age-specific death rates among adults aged 15-64 for all causes and external causes in the three years before the survey. We estimate external cause-deleted life expectancy by sex and apply logistic regression to investigate the socioeconomic determinants of all-cause and externalcause mortality in India. The male disadvantage in external-cause mortality is higher than in all-cause mortality. For all-cause mortality, caste and household wealth quintile (WQ) are significant predictors for both sexes. For external-cause mortality, Hindu adults experience a higher risk than adults from other religious groups. Moreover, the risk of death from external causes is negatively associated with household WQ. Our study demonstrates that people belonging to lower socioeconomic strata disproportionately carry the burden of death from external causes.
