The objective of the study is to assess morbidity status of the women population in North Tripura and Unokuti District of Tripura and to determine the important determinants of morbidity. The present paper shows out of the total 350 respondents, a total of 115 rural and urban respondents suffer from chronic diseases. A total of 235 respondents are found to have suffered/ suffering from seasonal diseases. The result reveals that with an increase in age, the probability of suffering from chronic illness increases with Exp (B) =1.074. The risk of being chronically ill decreases with increase in educational attainment (EDLR) with Exp (B) = 0.861. The risk of being chronically ill is more for women compared to male respondents
