Question

What is the word used for a disease which is always present in a population, albeit at low levels? 1. Epidemic 2. Pandemic 3. Genetic 4. Endemic

Answer 1

When a disease is present in a population at consistent levels and periods of time but in low levels, it is referred to as an endemic disease.

When an outbreak of disease affects a comparatively higher number of people than normal, we call this an epidemic.

Pandemic is a disease that is an epidemic and occurs over a wide area. Genetics is a hereditary disease caused in Humans.

Thus, the correct option is Endemic.
