widespread disease(s) Explanation: This gives about 300 000 hits on google. Funny enough, one can also translate this literally as "public disease(s)": such as asthma, alcoholism, diabetes, dislexia... folkesykdom means diseases that are common, epidemic or prevailing among a society. I think epidemic (epidemi/epidemisk) is a specific disease crisis, spread throughout a population at a given time. |
