In demographic point of view, women constitute little less than half of the world’s total population. However, they do not enjoy socioeconomic and health status as par with the men meaning that women are adversely placed as compared to the men. Among states of India, Odisha is a major state in Eastern India with poor socioeconomic development. Health status is also found to be poor. In all the situations, women suffer more than the men. The disease burden is high among women and Pregnancy and child birth related diseases account for about 65 % of the disease. Hence, the study of health condition of rural women in Odisha is most important. In this paper, an attempt has been made to study the levels of health status of women in rural Odisha based on select indicators of health such as acute illness, chronic illness, abortions (between 15 to 49 age group), mortality, disability, BMI, anemia.
