Prevention and health

In many cases, primary care, prevention and health can prevent many diseases in society; the change in the pattern of mortality and disease throughout the history of different societies has proved this matter. Therefore, identification of pathogenic agents and preventive diagnoses can be useful for many people and communities and reduce the risk of disease in them.

For whom are preventive diagnoses needed?

The existence of primary health care leads to valuable achievements for the society. Primary health care is not limited to services such as vaccination, but covers a wide section of the health field. Basic preventive diagnoses are an important part of these cares that can improve the health of the community. For many diseases, preventive diagnoses can be used and people who are more susceptible to the disease can be recognized based on various factors such as family history, risk factors, lifestyle, diet, etc. It is important to pay attention to the fact that the disease has its own causes and factors, and identifying the relationship between the influencing factors and various diseases helps us to be able to detect the possibility of contracting diseases before the symptoms appear in people, and by removing these factors, prevent the person from contracting the disease. We are in danger of getting sick. For instance, in some cases, family history is important. If there is a person with cancer in a family, it is more likely that other family members will also be exposed to this disease. In this case, it is probably necessary for the person to undergo preventive examinations and, by performing the necessary tests, check and diagnose the possibility of cancer before it occurs or in the early stages of the appearance of symptoms. There are undesirable habits in people’s lifestyles that can increase the risk of some diseases in these people. Among these factors, it could be mentioned things such as smoking, alcohol or drug use, inappropriate eating habits, lack of suitable physical activity, and environmental factors. By recognizing these factors, doctors and health professionals can provide recommendations and prevention and health solutions for these people. Currently, the technology and advancement of medical science in segments such as genetic science, allow us to use biological and genetic markers for preventive diagnosis of diseases. This includes new trials such as molecular genetics for cancer, blood tests for pre-detection of heart disease, tests related to kidney and liver health, and other preventative tests. However, it should be noted that the preventive diagnosis of diseases is still a complex principle; Because many factors are involved in getting diseases and preventive diagnosis may not always be accurate and definitive. Also, it should be mentioned that each individual has specific conditions and characteristics that considerably affect the possibility of contracting diseases. Therefore, preventive diagnoses should be provided by doctors and health professionals based on each individual’s specific conditions, diet, lifestyle, family history, etc. In general, experts personalize prevention and treatment programs by considering factors such as genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors.
