Comorbidity Mitigation

Meaning

Comorbidity mitigation is a proactive clinical strategy focused on identifying, preventing, and managing the simultaneous occurrence of two or more distinct medical conditions in a single patient, especially when those conditions share common underlying physiological pathways. This approach moves beyond treating individual symptoms to addressing the systemic root causes, which are frequently linked to chronic inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, or hormonal imbalances. Effective mitigation aims to improve overall prognosis, reduce polypharmacy, and enhance the patient’s quality of life.
