The prevalence of diseases is increasing day by day in society. Most concerning is that diseases typically associated with old age are now being observed in younger people.

In 2025, several such cases emerged, instilling fear in people. Everything from eating habits to physical activity – all lifestyle choices have come under scrutiny. Here, we are discussing some of the diseases that wreaked havoc on people this year.

Heart Attack
A heart attack is a life-threatening disease of old age. But even children studying in 5th and 6th grade have become its victims. According to the NCRB report, there has been a 12% increase in deaths due to heart disease in 2025. Most of these cases are due to heart attacks.

Fatty Liver
Fatty liver disease is considered no less than a silent killer. Initially, it involves fat accumulation in the liver, which can be easily removed. However, if ignored, it starts damaging the liver and can become fatal. According to a Nature report, 84 percent of IT employees in India are at risk of this disease.

Bird Flu
The terror of bird flu was witnessed in 2025. This virus, which spreads among chickens and birds, led to several cases of infection in states like Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka. Some people also died due to this.

Measles
India accounts for the highest number of measles deaths worldwide. In 2025, the WHO placed the country on its surveillance list. This means that this rapidly spreading disease, which has been around for years, remains a serious cause for concern.

Influenza
