Depending on the educational level and social status you occupy in your region. In addition, the geographic orientation that these people find themselves has an influence on how these people interpret the causes and treatments of diseases.

Explanation:

The way people in all parts of the world establish their beliefs in the causes and treatments of diseases must always follow the concepts defended and studied in a scientific way. However, cultural concepts, level of education, social status and even the geographic disposition of people often interfere with the way they interpret the causes of diseases and the ways to treat them.

Generally, people with the highest social status have more access to education and reside in privileged geographic regions. This allows these people to have more scientific and disease information. People with lower social status, have lower levels of education and are generally in underprivileged geographic regions, which makes them interpret diseases in a more cultural and belief-based way.
