New Delhi, September 17, 2026: Livlong 365 has released the latest findings from its Workforce Health Index, a large-scale Annual Health Check-up (AHC) programme conducted for one of its enterprise clients, screening 10,604 employees across 417 camps in Tier 1–4 cities across India between January and March 2026. The resulting data offers a rare, population-level view into workforce health in corporate India — and one finding stands out: 34.7% of women screened were anaemic, compared to 7.5% of men — roughly 1 in 3 women against 1 in 13 men.
The anaemia gap is part of a broader risk picture. Across the full screened population : 65.4% of employees were flagged with at least one measurable health risk spanning cholesterol, anaemia, diabetes and inflammation markers, 14.4% showed two or more simultaneous conditions, and 2.5% fell into a critical, three-or-more-condition bracket.
Beyond the risk numbers, this opens up a conversation that gets little airtime in workplace wellness: many women managing full-time jobs alongside a disproportionate share of household and caregiving responsibilities tend to deprioritise their own health check-ups, often not because they lack access, but because day-to-day demands leave little room to notice, or act on, early warning signs like fatigue or low iron levels until they become serious.
Gaurav Dubey, Founder & CEO, Livlong 365 says, “When we ran the numbers on this screening, the anaemia gap was the one that stopped us. This data is a starting point, not a headline. What we’re building with our corporate partners now is a screening process that actually accounts for that gap, instead of running the same panel for everyone and calling it comprehensive.”
Dr. Sonal Mhatre, Senior Manager – Clinical Operations at Livlong 365 added, “A prevalence gap of this size as the number shows, is consistent with what we have seen clinically, like iron-deficiency anaemia in working women is often multifactorial, driven by menstrual blood loss, inadequate dietary iron intake, and in many cases, undiagnosed or under treated deficiency that persists for years before its flagged. What women need to focus on is nutritional diet, quarterly or annual checkups to begin with.”
As part of this initiative, Livlong 365 is working to partner to build screening programmes that go beyond a standard annual check-up, offering women more frequent and more targeted testing, and helping employers track and follow up on flagged cases rather than let them sit in a report.
