Preventing Disease Programs

Meaning

Preventing Disease Programs are structured, evidence-based initiatives designed to proactively reduce the incidence and progression of specific chronic illnesses within a target population, often focusing on conditions heavily influenced by hormonal and metabolic factors. These programs utilize risk stratification, early screening, and targeted primary and secondary prevention strategies, such as intensive lifestyle modification or chemoprevention, to intercept the pathological process before overt disease manifests. In the hormonal health space, a key focus is the prevention of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
