Public health risks are factors that can harm the health of communities, such as infectious diseases, environmental hazards, or lifestyle choices like poor diet and inactivity. These risks can spread easily, cause illness, or reduce quality of life if not managed properly. Addressing public health risks involves prevention, early detection, and promoting healthy behaviors through education, policies, and healthcare services. Understanding these risks helps communities take actions to stay healthier, prevent outbreaks, and minimize the impact of health threats on society as a whole.
