Incidence
Physiological disorders affect millions globally, with the World Health Organization estimating that non-communicable diseases—including many physiological disorders—account for over 70% of all deaths worldwide. These disorders, ranging from diabetes and cardiovascular diseases to rare metabolic conditions, impose significant burdens on healthcare systems and economies, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where access to diagnosis and treatment is limited.
In 2022, India reported a sharp rise in cases of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a physiological disorder linked to changing dietary patterns and urban lifestyles. The Indian National Health Portal highlighted NAFLD as a growing public health concern, especially in urban populations.
