SAGE India Wave 1 (2007-08)


The SAGE India Wave 1 ( 2007-08) was implemented in six states selected to ensure a nationally representative sample—Assam, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. The same primary sampling units (PSUs) and households covered in the 2003 World Health Survey (WHS) comprised the baseline sample for SAGE Wave 1 India. SAGE Wave 1 India included a total of 11,230 completed individual interviews from 9,626 households; 4,670 interviews with persons aged 18-49 (3,625 women and 1,045 men) and 6,560 interviews with persons aged 50-plus (3,256 women and 3,304 men). Face-to-face interviews were used to collect information about the physical characteristics of the dwelling/ household; a household roster, including the sex, age, marital status, education, and care needs of each household member; cash and non-cash transfers into and out of the household; household income and expenditures; work history and benefits; health and health behaviours; chronic conditions; health care utilization; social networks; subjective well-being and quality of life; and impact of care giving. The health status of individuals was also assessed with the help of the following biomarkers: anthropometry (weight, height, BMI, waist-to-hip ratio); physical tests (timed walk, hand grip strength, lung function, vision tests, blood pressure); cognition tests (verbal fluency, immediate and delayed verbal recall, digit span); and blood tests (from consenting respondents, to test for anaemia, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease).

Six survey research organizations helped in conducting the field work in the six states – TNS (Delhi) for Assam, Institute for Social and Economic Change (ISEC) (Bangalore) for Karnataka, ORG (Delhi) for Maharashtra, Indian Institute for Health Management Research (IIHMR) (Jaipur) for Rajasthan, Research and Development Initiative (RDI) (Delhi) for Uttar Pradesh, and Economic Information Technology (EIT) (Kolkata) for West Bengal.
