Plausibly this is most prevalent in apologetics for the degenerative diseases that correlated with loss of youth.
Instances of diseasism in the Media seem to be most frequently reports of someone advocating Diseasism for self-perceived religious beliefs.
Diseasism is densely associated with Medical Restrictionism.
