Answer 1

The leading cause of death worldwide - A: Cardiovascular disease.

(Health statistics show that the last years 54% of death were due to Cardiovascular diseases(C.V disease). Among the C.V diseases Ischemic heart disease and strokes are more common fatal diseases. For the last decade C.V diseases is the leading cause of death worldwide.)

Occurs when abnormal cells begin to reproduce uncontrollably, often invading near by tissues and spreading to other parts of the body - F : Cancer

( Cancer is a disease in which the cells of a tissue undergo uncontrolled and rapid proliferation. It is also called as malignancy. Cancerous cells can form tumors and have the potential to spread to other tissues.)

Characterised by the body developing insulin resistance and failing to respond appropriately to insulin even when the hormone is still being produced -E : Diabetes

( Diabetes is a condition characterised by the abnormal metabolism of glucose in the body. Type 2 Diabetes is primarily due to insulin resistance( body doesn't use insulin) or it may due to inadequate production of insulin , resulting in the rise of blood sugar level beyond normal.)

Represents 12% of the global burden of the disease- D:Diabetic retinopathy.

( Diabetic retinopathy is one of the major complications of Diabetes. Studies show that world wide people with DR is incresing. Approximately 126.6 millions people are suffering with some degree of Diabetic retinopathy. It shows the global burden of the disease.)

Chronic otitis media is a leading cause - C: Hearing loss

( inflammation of the middle ear is called as Otitis media. Untreated otitis media may leads to chronic otitismedia and then it may complicated to chronic suppurative otitis media. Eventually hearing impairment or hearing loss may happen)

145 million people have some form of this disease: B : Mental health disorders.

( Mental health disorders are characterised by the abnormalities in one's thinking, emotions and behaviours resulting in the impairment in social or occupational functioning.
