Thyrocare Technologies Limited launched the Bharat Aarogyam Score today, drawing from one of India’s largest real-world preventive health analyses. Based on over 93 lakh health checkups conducted between 2023 and 2025, the report reveals alarming widespread silent health risks, with more than 9 out of 10 individuals showing early signs of at least one condition and most exhibiting multiple overlapping risk factors.
The Bharat Aarogyam Score evaluates 10 key health condition groups:
- Cancer Risk Indicators (CA-125, CA 15.3, CA 19.9, CEA, PSA)
- Diabetes (HbA1c)
- Heart Health (Non-HDL Cholesterol, Triglycerides)
- Low Hemoglobin (Hemoglobin)
- Iron Status (Iron)
- Kidney Function (Creatinine, eGFR, Uric Acid, BUN)
- Liver Function (Bilirubin Direct, GGT, SGOT, SGPT)
- Thyroid Function (TSH)
- Vitamin D Deficiency (Vitamin D)
- Vitamin B12 Deficiency (Vitamin B12)
Multiple Risks Far More Prevalent Than Expected
The analysis uncovers a stark reality: more than 9 in 10 individuals show risk for at least one condition, over 8 in 10 for at least two, over 6 in 10 for at least three, nearly 4 in 10 for at least four, and nearly 2 in 10 for five or more. This indicates multiple health risks are increasingly common across the population.
Age and Gender Breakdowns Signal Early Warnings
Non-communicable disease risks rise earlier than perceived. Heart health and diabetes risks spike in the 21- 40 age group, with heart risk doubling by the 30s and diabetes risk more than doubling by the 40s. Kidney risk nearly doubles after age 60, while thyroid imbalance trends steadily upward across groups.
Health risk trends stayed stable from 2023 to 2025, showing no major shifts in prevalence. Gender differences include low hemoglobin ~2.5× higher in females than males; males with 1.5× higher liver marker abnormalities; thyroid imbalance only 1.4× higher in females; and Vitamin B12 deficiency 1.4× higher in males.
Rahul Guha, MD & CEO, Thyrocare, commented: “Our data from 93 lakh annual health checkups tells us that 9 out of 10 people carry silent health risks they know nothing about. Prevention must become a habit, not an afterthought and that shift begins the moment someone knows their numbers. The opportunity for India isn’t better hospitals. It’s better awareness.”
Rajdeep Panwar, Chief Commercial Officer, added: “The Bharat Aarogyam Score not only shows how common individual conditions are but also highlights overlapping risks, stressing the need for a holistic approach. By turning complex health data into clear, actionable insights, it empowers individuals to take charge of their health.”
Dr. Preet Kaur, Chief Scientific Officer, emphasized: “The Bharat Aarogyam Score is a wake-up call we can no longer ignore. Heart disease and diabetes are no longer conditions of middle age; they are quietly taking root in people in their 20s and 30s. This shift demands a fundamental rethink of healthcare from episodic treatment to continuous, preventive vigilance.”
As India’s health challenges evolve, the Bharat Aarogyam Score underscores preventive healthcare’s role in early detection and better outcomes.
