Rural-urban differentials in the prevalence of diarrhoea among older adults in India: Evidence from Longitudinal Ageing Study in India, 2017-18.

There is an immediate need to address this public health concern by raising awareness about poor sanitation and unhygienic practices. With the support of the findings of the present study, policy makers can design interventions for reducing the massive burden of diarrhoea among older adults in rural India.
