Medical professionals refer to the term “morbidity” when they discuss medical issues. This can be defined as any illness or injury that occurs in someone who has had previous health problems with no apparent reason why it should happen again at this point but does not necessarily indicate anything about one’s likelihood of getting sick down the line given their current state of wellness.
Morbidity is the amount of disease in a population. People who are sick have high rates of morbimortality or medical problems caused by treatments for that illness.
The worse your health condition gets-the higher chance you’ll face other life challenges like having difficulty finding employment or getting coverage under affordable healthcare plans at work resulting from pre-existing conditions.
Morbidity is the study of death and disease. A person can have an unhealthy interest in these topics, which would be reflected through their work if it’s focused on them to some degree (e.g., artists who are obsessed with macabre subjects).
An example might be cancer – its effects include significant morbidity for humans because this sickness often causes illness or shortened lifespan instead of just mortality itself.
The word ‘morbidity’ also has other meanings like incidence rate (the number who get sick), prevalence meaning how many people are infected by this disease at any given moment). This measure contrasts mortality rates which tell us what proportion died due to their health condition while alive – usually expressed as percentages between 0-100%.
What is Comorbidity?
Co-morbidity is the occurrence of two or more illnesses in a single person. Co-occurring conditions do not always have the same cause, but they may occur together and worsen each other’s symptoms to some extent. For example obesity with depression could lead one down an even darker path than just being sad alone would accomplish; diabetes sufferers might find that their blood sugar levels are unstable when there isn’t enough insulin available because both problems require different treatments depending on how severe it becomes – so although these ailments can often coexist at times through no intervention beyond fate itself (i e genetics).
