IMPORTANCE Understanding how diabetes and hypertension prevalence varies within a country as large as India is essential for targeting of prevention, screening, and treatment services. However, to our knowledge there has been no prior nationally representative study of these conditions to guide the design of effective policies.OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of diabetes and hypertension in India, and its variation by state, rural vs urban location, and individual-level sociodemographic characteristics.DESIGN, SETTING. AND PARTICIPANTS This was a cross-sectional, nationally representative, population-based study carried out between 2012 and 2014. A total of 1320 555 adults 18 years or older with plasma glucose (PG) and blood pressure (BP) measurements were included in the analysis.EXPOSURES State, rural vs urban location, age, sex, household wealth quintile, education, and marital status.MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Diabetes (PG level >= 126 mg/dL if the participant had fasted or >= 200 mg/dL if the participant had not fasted) and hypertension (systolic BP >= 140 mm or diastolic BP >= 90 mm Hg).RESULTS Of the 1320 555 adults, 701408 (53.1%) were women. The crude prevalence of diabetes and hypertension was 7.5% (95% CI, 7.3%-7.7%) and 25.3% (95% CI, 25.0%-25.6%), respectively. Notably, hypertension was common even among younger age groups (eg, 18-25 years: 12.1%; 95% CI, 11.8%-12.5%). Being in the richest household wealth quintile compared with being in the poorest quintile was associated with only a modestly higher probability of diabetes (rural: 2.81 percentage points; 95% CI, 2.53-3.08 and urban: 3.47 percentage points; 95% CI, 3.03-3.91) and hypertension (rural: 4.15 percentage points; 95% CI, 3.68-4.61 and urban: 3.01 percentage points; 95% CI, 2.38-3.65). The differences in the probability of both conditions by educational category were generally small (
