Indian women, on average, experience approximately three health concerns at a time, according to the key findings from the Centrum India Women’s Health Survey released today. The findings also pointed out that despite this, only three out of ten women consume health supplements regularly.
Haleon (erstwhile GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare) collaborated with KANTAR to conduct “The Centrum India Women’s Health Survey” with the objective of obtaining insight into the main nutrition-led health problems that Indian women experience.
According to the survey, poor bone health, insufficient immunity, and low energy levels are top health issues faced by Indian women. The survey reached out to more than 1200 female respondents from key metros (Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata) to study their nutrition needs across life stages from 2- 65 years.
The survey also revealed that weight management, healthy appearance, sleeplessness, and diabetes are also major concerns among women.
Haleon India’s ‘Know Your MiND’ (Micronutrient Deficiency) campaign is a part of its larger initiative called “Her Nutrition Matters” which focuses on raising awareness about the daily nutritional requirements of women and the related long-term health implications. Under this campaign, Haleon India joined hands with 8,522 doctors across the country with a vision towards improving the micronutrient status of Indians. Moreover, these doctors also took a pledge to raise awareness on the matter.
Shedding light on the steps that Haleon, and health practitioners can take, to tackle micronutrient deficiencies in women, Haleon hosted a panel discussion on ‘Countering MiND, Nurturing Her Health’, in partnership with the Federation of Obstetric and Gynaecological Societies of India (FOGSI).
