Livlong 365 has released findings from its Workforce Health Index, based on an Annual Health Check-up (AHC) programme that screened 10,604 employees across 417 camps in Tier 1–4 cities between January and March 2026.
Significant Gender Gap in Anaemia
The screening found that 34.7% of women were anaemic, compared with 7.5% of men—roughly one in three women versus one in thirteen men.
As per the press release, the findings highlight the need for more targeted workplace health screening, particularly for conditions that disproportionately affect women.
Wider Workforce Health Risks
The data also found that 65.4% of employees had at least one measurable health risk, including cholesterol, anaemia, diabetes and inflammation markers. Meanwhile, 14.4% had two or more conditions, while 2.5% had three or more.
Gaurav Dubey, Founder & CEO, Livlong 365, said the anaemia gap reinforces the need to move beyond a one-size-fits-all approach to workplace health screening.
Dr. Sonal Mhatre, Senior Manager – Clinical Operations, Livlong 365, noted that iron-deficiency anaemia among working women can have multiple contributing factors, including menstrual blood loss and inadequate dietary iron intake. She emphasised the importance of nutritious diets and regular health check-ups.
Focus on Targeted Screening
Livlong 365 is now working with corporate partners to develop screening programmes that offer more frequent, targeted testing for women, along with better follow-up of flagged cases.
