Abstract

Abstract Slum dwellers due to their low level of living and unhealthy environment can be at higher risk of illness. The present paper explores the dimension and determinants of morbidity in the slums of Chandigarh. The paper revealed that there is high morbidity among the slum dwellers and there is also co‐existence of both chronic and acute diseases, infectious and lifestyle diseases. The determinants of morbidity are also explored, and factors responsible in curtailing the morbidity among the slum dwellers are identified. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
