High prevalence of diseases can have profound impacts on society, including:
Economic Burden: High prevalence can lead to increased healthcare costs and lost productivity, placing a financial strain on both individuals and the economy. Healthcare System: It can overwhelm healthcare systems, leading to longer wait times, reduced quality of care, and burnout among healthcare providers. Quality of Life: Individuals with chronic conditions often experience a diminished quality of life, including physical, emotional, and social challenges. Social Inequality: High prevalence of certain diseases can exacerbate social inequalities, as marginalized groups may be more affected and have less access to care.
