Preventative Health Economics

Meaning

Preventative health economics is an interdisciplinary field that rigorously evaluates the costs and benefits associated with interventions designed to prevent disease onset, delay disease progression, or promote overall wellness, often through optimizing hormonal and metabolic function. This analysis quantifies the long-term economic value of proactive health strategies, such as personalized lifestyle modifications or early hormone balancing, versus the substantially higher costs of treating advanced chronic illness. It provides the necessary financial rationale for shifting healthcare resources toward wellness, longevity, and early intervention models.
