Abstract
Linkage between health status of population and economic growth of a country is a well established fact. In this context, this paper is an attempt to assess the health status of Indian population through a self developed health status index (HSI). The HSI has been developed by using principal component analysis. Further to identify the determinants of health status a logistic regression has been estimated. The HSI has been calculated only for 19 states of India and for the year 2016.The findings of the study shows that health status of Indian population is not at all satisfactory.
Keywords: Health Status, Economic growth, Principal component Analysis, Logistic Regression.
