Question 3

To determine the current major public health threats, we analyze each option:

• Tuberculosis, pneumonia, measles: While these are infectious diseases, current major public health threats also include non - communicable diseases (NCDs).
• Diabetes, heart disease, hypertension: These are non - communicable diseases (NCDs) which are among the current major public health threats globally, as NCDs account for a large proportion of morbidity and mortality.
• Mumps, HIV, scurvy: Scurvy is a vitamin C deficiency disease, not a major public health threat currently, and mumps is less of a major threat compared to NCDs.
• Rubella, tetanus, shingles: These are infectious diseases, but NCDs are more prominent in current public health threats.
• Obesity, pneumonia, autism: Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder, not a public health threat in the same sense as the others, and pneumonia is an infectious disease, while obesity is related to NCDs but the combination with autism is incorrect.

The 12 leading health indicators include substance abuse (including alcohol and drug abuse) as it has a significant impact on health, leading to various physical and mental health problems, social issues, etc.

Answer:

Diabetes, heart disease, hypertension
