Answer;

Illness

Illness is the term used by sociologists for socially defined and culturally variable states of interference with health.

Step-by-step explanation;

-The sociology of health and illness studies the interaction between society and health. Sociologists examine how social life impacts morbidity and mortality rates and how morbidity and mortality rates impact society.

-Sociology focuses on the health and illness in relation to social institutions such as the family, work, school, and religion as well as the causes of disease and illness, reasons for seeking particular types of care, and patient compliance and noncompliance.
