According to the latest health of the nation 2025 report by Apollo Hospitals, millions of Indians are living with serious health issues such as hypertension, diabetes and fatty liver.

In the last five years, preventive health check -ups at Apollo, India’s largest private hospital range, in 2019 to 1 million in 2019, a silent epidemic has been revealed – a silent epidemic has been revealed – once they do not show any visible symptoms.

This reflects increasing awareness, but the data also shows that more needs to be done.

“Do not wait for symptoms, give preventive health your priority,” the report has been exposed in the report, indicating that 26% of them had no symptoms of high blood pressure and 23% diabetes in the investigation of them.

“India should get up on the occasion of making healthy, happy families by keeping health in the heart of every house. Preventive healthcare is no longer an ambition for the future-this is the foundation stone of a nation today. This report confirms our collective responsibility, which to act deeply, and empowers every citizen with knowledge and access.”

Managing Director of Apollo Hospitals Dr. Sunita Reddy said, “When 66% of people investigate fatty liver, 85% of them are non-alcoholic; it indicates urgency for new diagnosis and to detect early scale. Traditional screening is no longer enough.

The data was prepared from the EMR of Electronic Medical Records (EMR of preventive health check-ups), structured clinical evaluation, and AI-operated risk stratification from Apollo’s hospitals, clinics, diagnostics labs and wellness centers.

Report is in Joro on three essential health challenges: fatty liver disease, declining health after menopause, and childhood obesity, early personal intervention and emphasizing the need for lifestyle-based care models.

Fatty liver disease is an important concern

One of the most worrying trends in the report is the rise of non-alcohol fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Between 2.57 lakh people, 65% had fatty liver, and 85% of them had never consumed alcohol.

This means that the condition is being driven by poor diet, passive lifestyle and other metabolic issues, not alcohol.

More than half of individuals had normal blood tests, suggesting that common lab reports may recall initial warning signals.

Advanced scans and screening may be necessary for accurate diagnosis.

Post -menopause health needs immediate attention

The report shows that women face sharp health risks after menopause, which marks the end of their menstruation.

Diabetes in women increases by 14% to 40% before menopause. Obesity jumps from 76% to 86%, and fatty liver becomes even more normal.

Executive Vice Chairperson of Apollo Hospitals Dr. Preetha Reddy said, “It is not only about aging, it is about a phase of life that needs specific attention. We need age-appointed, gender-sensitive care models.”

Growing obesity in children and teenagers

Obesity is also increasing among the youth. The report found that 8% primary school children and 28% college students suffer from overweight or obesity.

Even more related, 19% of college students were found to be pre-elastic, which suggests an early risk of heart disease.

Report authors said that this trend is due to poor diet, lack of physical activity and increasing stress among the youth.

“It’s not only about body weight – these are the initial signs of lifetime health issues,” Dr. Preetha Reddy said.

Hidden burden of heart disease

Even in people without any symptoms, 46% of the early symptoms of heart disease were found through calcium scoring.

The shocking thing is that 2.5% of the affected people were under 40 years of age. This means that many Indians can move with heart conditions, which strengthen the need for advanced screening.

Mental health, sleep issues are often ignored

Mental health is another increasing concern. In screening of over 47,000 people, 6% showed signs of depression. Women between 40–55 were the most affected.

Sleep disorders are also widespread. 4 out of 1 Indians have a high risk for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a disorder closely associated with obesity, heart disease and day fatigue.

Depending on the screening of 53,000 individuals, 33% of men and 10% of women were identified as high risk of sleep apnea.

Risk levels grow rapidly with age, affecting 68% of men and 22% of women more than 55.

Despite its high proliferation, OSA remains low, often wrong for normal fatigue or stress.

Doctors are calling for regular sleep risk assessment in metabolic screening, strong public awareness about OSA symptoms, and workplace welfare programs that address sleep hygiene as a main pillar of preventive care.

Despite being common, both conditions are weakened, often wrong for stress or fatigue.

Cancer burden

In 2024, the average age for cervical cancer diagnosis was 49, breast cancer for 57, and lung cancer 61: a decade before the global average.

This report advocates reducing the age limit for regular screening and driving awareness in urban and rural population.

Micronutrient deficiencies

Anemia affected 45% of women and 26% of men, while vitamin D deficiency affected 77% of women and 82% of men. Vitamin B12 deficiency was also important, with 38% of men and 27% females show low levels.

In people under the age of 40, the decrease was even more pronounced: 49% of men and 35% of women had vitamin B12 deficiency.

These intervals, if left ignored, can spoil energy, cognition and metabolic function. Apollo recommends comprehensive education as an essential first step towards improving national nutrition and long -term health.

Obesity and metabolism relaxation: Casked continues

The report stated that 61% of the investigation was thicker, with another 18% more weight. Obesity continues to act as the root cause of a series of non-communicable diseases.

The report states that Apollo supports expanding physical literacy in schools and workplaces and making BMI (body mass index) and metabolic screening a part of every annual health check -up.

Doctors also advocated going from a symptomatic model to a preventive, data-LED system for healthcare.

He recommended to make regular health check-up-up of school courses, corporate welfare programs and insurance coverage.

“This report suggests that there may be too late to wait for the symptoms. Initial screening, lifestyle changes, and awareness is the only way forward,” Dr. Pratap Reddy said.
