The BG Prasad socioeconomic scale needs regular updates for inflation. This study uses the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to recalculate income categories for health research in India.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Socioeconomic Determinants of Health
  • Health Economics

Background:

  • The BG Prasad socioeconomic scale is a standard tool in Indian health studies.
  • Income-based scales require frequent adjustments for economic changes like inflation.
  • Accurate socioeconomic status (SES) assessment is crucial for health research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To update the BG Prasad socioeconomic scale using recent economic data.
  • To provide a methodology for researchers to update SES categories.
  • To ensure the continued relevance and accuracy of the scale in health research.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for industrial workers (IW) to adjust income thresholds.
  • Calculated updated income categories for January 2014.
