On par with civilization, perception to their surroundings has been regularly altering the individual lives. Diseases and disorders associated with occupations in relation to age and sex were studied in a selected population of human individuals, dividing them into ‘10’ age groups. Clinical based case control study has been done to determine the occurrence of diseases and disorders in human individuals with different occupations in relation to age and sex. Male individuals with primary type and secondary type of occupations suffered more than that of business level and government and private sector. Female individuals with secondary type, business level and primary type suffered more than that of government and private sector. Age group (in years) 41-70 in male individuals is more affected than 21-40 of primary type and also of secondary type. And in business level and government and private sector, age group 41-60 is more affected than 21-40 with greater significant values indicating p<0.05. Contrary to this in female individuals, age group 31-60 of primary type, 31-50 of secondary type and business level, 21-40 of government and private sector were affected more than age group 21-30, 61-70 of primary type, 21-30 of secondary type and 41-50 of government and private sector with greater significant values indicating p<0.05. Male individuals of age group 41-60 and female individuals of age group 31-60 are more vulnerable to occurrence of several diseases and disorders associated with the various occupations.
