Cross-sectional, Observational Survey Research regarding General Health Status among Adults Residing in Punjab

Abstract

General health indicators can be used to estimate the likely demand for health care and services at the population level, offering a method for monitoring population health and estimating the likely demand for health care and services. The goal of this study was to gather data to aid in the design of surveys and the interpretation of survey results on the general health of India's population. A free health camp was held in April 2022, with 50 adults participating in the health service and assessing blood pressure, pulse, weight, and other adult health issues. Under the guidance of the Akal deaddiction centre Cheema, formal approval was gained with the support of local primary health centre healthcare practitioners. For the assessment, experts created and confirmed a basic data profile. With the participants' consent, free iron and calcium supplements, as well as a health talk, was given to all of the participants The average age (SD) was 2.54 (1.215). The average weight was 2.8 (1.21) kg. The mean hypertension score, which represents the average, was 2.6 (0.83), pulse 2.64 (0.66), and pain 2.22 (1.35). The survey's findings show that, despite their widespread impact, many people suffering from pain and other health problems have never sought medical advice and are unaware of potential complications and preventive measures. These findings point to a significant unmet need for health care among people of average health in the general population.
