Question

Give three examples. Diseases endangering social health.

Answer 1

Hint: Social health endangering diseases are the one that are hard to cure and vital in nature affecting a large chunk of the population at a given time. These diseases distort the proper functioning of the body, thus eventually leading to death.

Complete answer:
Following are the three examples of social health endangering diseases:
Cancer: it is one of the fastest growing diseases affecting a very large chunk of the population all over the world. It is a medical condition that involves abnormal and accelerated growth of cells that eventually leads to formation of muscular knots in the body. This disease distorts both function and structure of the infected organ thus is a fatal disease.
HIV-AIDS: AIDS stands for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. It spreads through HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) microbe. It is a sexually transmitted disease. This virus immediately starts duplicating after entering the host body. However, it takes 10 to 12 years to reflect its symptoms. Within these years it slowly damages the whole immune system of the body. This makes the host body too weak to fight even against mild diseases like cough and fever, eventually leading to the death of that person.
Diabetes Mellitus: It is a medical condition that arises out of improper digestion of food in the body in which all food gets converted into glucose thus abnormally increasing the blood sugar level. It is also an incurable disease, thus can only be balanced by timely injection of insulin or avoiding food rich in carbohydrates.

Note:
The social endangering diseases may or may not be transmissible among the members of a community. For a disease to be declared as socially endangered, it must be fatal for a large population. It may be viral such as Covid - 19 or non viral such as Tuberculosis.
