Supplementary Table for Elderly Health Status At State level (EHSAS) index study

This study develops the Elderly Health Status at State Level (EHSAS) Index to assess and compare elderly health across Indian states through a secondary data analysis of the Longitudinal Ageing Survey of India – Wave I data. The index incorporates 32 indicators across seven health domains and is computed using an equal-weight method and a principal component analysis (PCA)-weighted method. Hereby, we uploaded the data necessary for estimating the underlying indicators of EHSAS index (see 'Data.xlsx'). Additionally, the file 'Table S1.xlsx' gives the number of participants who reported for each indicator and the corresponding number of missing values at the state level.本研究构建了国家级老年健康状况指数（Elderly Health Status at State Level, EHSAS），基于印度纵向老龄化调查第一波的二手数据分析，对印度各邦的老年人口健康状况开展评估与比较。该指数涵盖七大健康维度下的32项指标，采用等权重法与主成分分析（Principal Component Analysis, PCA）加权法进行计算。本研究上传了用于估算EHSAS指数底层指标所需的数据集（详见"Data.xlsx"）。此外，文件"Table S1.xlsx"列出了各指标的报告参与者人数，以及对应邦级层面的缺失值数量。
