Cardiovascular diseases have emerged as a major health concern in India, showing a significant increase over recent years. According to the NSO Survey 2025, these diseases now account for 25.6% of all reported illnesses, making them the leading category among various health conditions. This rise reflects changing lifestyles, increased stress levels, and other risk factors such as poor diet and lack of physical activity. Notably, the impact is not limited to older populations, as younger age groups are also increasingly affected. The data highlights the urgent need for improved public health strategies, awareness campaigns, and preventive healthcare measures to address this growing burden.
