- W4246857498 abstract "Abstract BackgroundRoutine medical check-ups not only reduce the health-care costs over time by detecting potentially life-threatening health conditions at an early stage but also reduces the risk of getting sick and thereby increasing the life span and improving overall health. Therefore, this study examined the prevalence and factors associated with medical check-ups among older adults in India.MethodsThe study utilized data from Building a Knowledge Base on Population Aging in India(BKPAI). The routine medical check-up is the outcome variable of this study. Multivariate analysis has been implemented to fulfil the objectives of the study. Concentration index and decomposition analysis were carried out to examine observed socio-economic inequality in the routine medical check-ups.ResultsNearly one-fourth (23.1%) of the older adults were undergoing the routine medical check-up. Older adults with below five years (OR, 1.31; CI: 1.13-1.51), 6 to 10 years (OR, 1.36; CI: 1.16-1.60), and 11+ years of schooling (OR, 2.02; CI: 1.6-2.54) were significantly more likely to go for routine medical check-ups than illiterate older adults. The concentration Index value of 0.19 depicts the pro-rich inequality in health check-ups among older adults. Furthermore, the results from the decomposition analysis revealed that the wealth quintile of the household contributed nearly 57 percent to the observed socio-economic inequality in the prevalence of routine medical check-up. Education and working status of older adults made a substantial contribution to the inequalities in routine medical check-ups and explained 16.9 percent, and 4.2 percent of the total inequality, respectively.ConclusionsFrom a policy perspective, at first, there is a dire need to spread awareness about the usefulness of routine medical check-ups among older adults. Further, this study reflects the association between education and routine medical check-up, and therefore there is a need to promote literacy at the grass-root level; also, it is recommended to promote health literacy among the older adults. A low level of medical check-up among older adults in rural areas could be reduced by offering free health check-ups regularly. Furthermore, the care of the elderly needs to be prioritized while policy formulation." @default.
