A Shift towards Disease ______________
- approximately 70% of deaths globally due to _______________
- greater need to focus on disease ___________ because most of the burden of _________________
diseases is _______________ - correct answer ✔✔Prevention
- non-communicable diseases
-non-communicable & preventable
The River Story - correct answer ✔✔- saving people drifting downstream (stage 4 - tertiary prevention)
walk upstream to warn bystanders - keep walking upstream to find root cause of people falling into the
river
- it is a hole in the bridge - you put up signs warning people, you offer swimming lessons just in case
people do fall in (stage 2 primary prevention)
- finally you realize u have to repair the bridge (stage 2 primary prevention) - preventing people from
falling in the river (getting disease)
Disease Prevention and Stages - correct answer ✔✔aims to minimize the incidence or effects of disease.
Preventative measures can be applied at any stage along the course of a disease, with the goal of
preventing further progression. There are 4 stages of prevention.
1. Primordial
2. Primary
,3. Secondary
4. Tertiary
Disease Prevention
Stage 1 : - correct answer ✔✔Primordial Prevention
NO DISEASE
- Aims to prevent the development of risk factors of diseases by targeting the underlying environmental
and social conditions that might promote them
- Targets the underlying health determinants by modifying social policies to improve the health of a
population, for example, promoting a healthy lifestyle by establishing safe sidewalks and public outdoor
spaces/walking trails. Other examples include economic reforms, improving childhood health through
prenatal nutrition programs, and outlawing alcohol in certain countries.
Disease Prevention
Stage 2: - correct answer ✔✔Primary Prevention
NO DISEASE
- Identification and modification of risk factors (risk reduction) to prevent onset of disease
- targets susceptible individuals and attempts to prevent disease development. It targets exposures and
risk factors for specific diseases as well as ways to increase immunity. For example, GETTING
VACCINATED.
Disease Prevention
,Stage 3: - correct answer ✔✔Secondary Prevention
ONSET OF DISEASE --> ASYMPTOMATIC DISEASE
- Early detection and treatment of disease before symptoms appear
- Involves early detection and treatment and treatment of disease
- for example, regular mammograms to detect and treat breast cancer, and regular papanicolaou tests or
"pap smear" (cervical screening used to detect precancerous and cancerous growths in the cervix) and
treat cervical cancer
Disease Prevention
Stage 4: - correct answer ✔✔Tertiary Prevention
CLINICAL ONSET
CLINICAL COURSE
- Treatment of disease to stop its progression and control its negative consequences
- When a disease has developed and is in its clinical phase, tertiary prevention strategies help to reduce
the impact of the disease on the patient's function, survival, and quality of life. For example, patients
that have had a myocardial infarction (heart attack) having cardiac rehabilitation, and regular checkups
afterwards.
