Continuing from my comment: On the assumption that disease categories are mutually exclusive, and
using an additional category None
so that groups total $n_1 = 100, n_2 = 200,$
as stated, here is a chi-squared test of homogeneity (in R) of disease category
across groups.
G1 = c(20, 17, 13, 25, 5, 20)
G2 = c(56, 32, 40, 40, 20, 12)
TBL = rbind(G1, G2)
out = chisq.test(TBL); our
Pearson's Chi-squared test
data: TBL
X-squared = 18.593, df = 5, p-value = 0.002288
The null hypothesis of homogeneity is rejected (P-value $0.0023).$
Observed counts $X_{ij}$ echo the input, expected counts $E_{ij}$ are based on row and column totals of the table (assuming homogeneity). For example, $E_{11} = 100(76/300) = 25.33333.$
The chi-squared statistic
(X-squared
in output) is
$$ Q = \sum_{i=1}^2\sum_{j=1}^6 \frac{(X_{ij}-E_{ij})^2}{E_{ij}}=18.593,$$
which is distributed approximately as $\mathsf{Chisq}(\nu),$ where
the number of degrees of freedom is $\nu = (2-1)(6-1) = 5.$ The P-value is the probability
$0.0023$ under the density curve of $\mathsf{Chisq}(5)$ to the right of $18.593.$
In order for $Q$ to have this chi-squared distribution the $E_{ij}$s should exceed $5,$ which is true for your data.

The Pearson residuals are the square roots of the the $rc = 12$ contributions $C_{ij} = \frac{(X_{ij}-E_{ij})^2}{E_{ij}},$ given the signs of the differences $D_{ij} = X_{ij}-E_{ij}.$
Residuals with the largest absolute values point the way to the contributions
most responsible for a large enough value $Q$ to lead to rejection.
Here the key residuals are for the category None
, so number of G1 subjects
not having one of the five diseases is larger than expected if categories were
homogeneous across groups. Otherwise, disease categories 1 and 5 seem different
among the groups.
Separate ad hoc tests (perhaps at the 1% level to avoid 'false discovery' according to the Bonferroni method), would show which differences are significant.
