摘要：
This commentary highlights significant gender disparities in health and well-being among India’s older population using data from the recent Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (2017-18). Older women reported higher rates of chronic conditions, functional limitations, and women-specific health issues. These cumulative disadvantages stem from lifetime gender disparities rooted in patriarchy. The subnational pattern of gender disparities closely aligns with existing regional dynamics of socioeconomic and health inequalities. National and statewide policies are needed to address lifetime gender disparities and improve older women’s health.
