Not only is access to high-quality healthcare a fundamental right guaranteed by the nation&#8217;s constitution, but it also promotes social justice, economic growth, and personal flourishing. The healthcare sector is essential to protecting the health and dignity of India&#8217;s diverse population, from combating infectious diseases to addressing the burden of non-communicable diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using data from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS), a centerpiece of public health research in the country, this report explores India\u2019s healthcare landscape.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NFHS is conducted periodically to provide insights into the socio-economic variables, demographic trends, and essential health indicators that influence community health.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"About_Data\"><\/span>About Data<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The National Family Health Survey (<a href=\"https:\/\/rchiips.org\/nfhs\/\">NFHS<\/a>) is a large-scale, multi-round survey conducted in a representative sample of households throughout India. We used the appropriate indicators (insert numbers) related to healthcare in the NFHS-5 Report released by the Government of India. The indicators were then further categorized to eight categories namely &#8211; Population and Household Profile, Quality of Family Planning Services, Characteristics of Women (age 15-49 years), Delivery Care (for births in the 5 years before the survey), Child Vaccinations and Vitamin A Supplementation, Child Feeding Practices and Nutritional Status of Children, Nutritional Status of Women (age 15-49 years), Anaemia among Children and Women, Hypertension among Adults (age 15 years and above).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Methodology_%E2%80%93_Math_and_Mechanisms\"><\/span>Methodology &#8211; Math and Mechanisms<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_%E2%80%93_Isometric_Log_Ratio_Transformation\"><\/span>Step 1 &#8211; Isometric Log Ratio Transformation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In statistical analysis, it is common to have outliers that can affect the outcome significantly. Also, a higher value of <strong>\u2018<\/strong><strong><em>Children under 5 years who are stunted\u2019<\/em><\/strong> in a district is not good for the healthcare index but a higher value of <strong>\u2018<\/strong><strong><em>Children aged 12-23 months who have received 3 doses of polio vaccine<\/em><\/strong><strong>\u2019<\/strong> is desirable for the healthcare index.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So to deal with outliers and make all the variables positively correlated to the index, Isometric Log Ratio Transformation was done on each indicator.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Isometric Log Ratio Transformation (ILR) works on compositional data. Hence, all the variables were divided into two parts &#8211; positively and negatively correlated parts of the variables, and the following transformation was carried out for each district and corresponding to each indicator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>x = (1\/\u221a2)*log(positively correlated part\/negatively correlated part)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All indicator values are percentages, so they can be composed into two parts: <em>x, 100 &#8211; x; <\/em>where x = the indicator&#8217;s value. Based on the variable, we have decided which is the positively correlated part and which is negatively correlated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, 100 &#8211; x would be the positively correlated part for <strong>\u2018<\/strong><strong><em>Children under 5 years who are stunted\u2019 <\/em><\/strong>and x would be negatively correlated whereas it would be the other way round for <strong>\u2018<\/strong><strong><em>Children aged 12-23 months who have received 3 doses of polio vaccine<\/em><\/strong><strong>\u2019<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_%E2%80%93_Principal_Component_Analysis\"><\/span>Step 2 &#8211; Principal Component Analysis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is an unsupervised learning algorithm used to reduce the number of features for a dataset that contains a large number of features while capturing enough information about the sample. It helps data scientists visualize the data, to figure out what might be going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The algorithm creates a new set of variables called Principal Components (PCs) which are linear combinations of the initial variables (here they are indicators) in such a way that most of the information\/variance is captured in the first (major) PCs. The number of PCs to be considered depends on the variance that needs to be captured out of the initial information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if there are n variables, the number of PCs can be n, but the information contained in them decreases from firsts to the lasts as shown in the scree plot below which depicts the amount of variance each PC captures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, the category \u2018Population and Household Profile\u2019 has 10 indicators but after&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PCA, only 6 PCs have been considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"972\" height=\"525\" src=\"http:\/\/geoiq.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4662\" style=\"width:699px;height:auto\" srcset=\"http:\/\/geoiq.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image.png 972w, http:\/\/geoiq.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-300x162.png 300w, http:\/\/geoiq.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/image-768x415.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 972px) 100vw, 972px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Proportion of Variance Explained :&nbsp; [0.3459571&nbsp; 0.15184378 0.12396498 0.10433747 0.07114614 0.06334852]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cumulative Proportion of Variance Explained:&nbsp; [0.3459571&nbsp; 0.49780088 0.62176586 0.72610333 0.79724947 0.86059799]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No of Total Initial Variables: 10<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No of PCs important: 6<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For the index, we have considered enough PCs that can capture at least 80% of the variance in the initial data for each of the eight categories.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_%E2%80%93_Weighted_Index_Calculation\"><\/span>Step 3 &#8211; Weighted Index Calculation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The weighted index for each category is calculated using the derived PCs which are a representation of the original values in each category and the corresponding variance that they capture, which means<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>W<\/sup><sup>i<\/sup><sup> =<\/sup><sup>j=1<\/sup><sup>j=n<\/sup><sup>P<\/sup><sup>C<\/sup><sup>i,j<\/sup><sup>* Va<\/sup><sup>r<\/sup><sup>i,j<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, the variance of the corresponding category plays the role of weight, PC which has captured higher variance is given more weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_%E2%80%93_Jenks_Optimization\"><\/span>Step 4 &#8211; Jenks Optimization<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Jenks optimization method is a type of data clustering technique that arranges values into different classes in such a way that the average deviation for a group from its mean is minimized, while the deviation from the other class\u2019 mean is maximized.
