What is prevention?

Health prevention is the set of the measures useful to prevent the onset, spread and progression of diseases, as well as to limit irreversible damage when the disease is in progress.

The interventions are divided into primary, secondary and tertiary prevention.

PRIMARY PREVENTION

the classic form that includes all the interventions intended to hinder the onset of diseases in the population, fighting the causes and factors that make the population susceptible to them. The interventions aim to change incorrect behaviours and habits.

SECONDARY PREVENTION

aims to identify sick or high-risk subjects early, in order to help them recover quickly or to stop the progression of the disease. An intervention on a few individuals is represented by investigations, e.g. epidemiological investigations following a case of infectious disease, while interventions aimed at large homogeneous groups are defined as screening.

TERTIARY PREVENTION

tries to limit the problems of diseases that have already been diagnosed and, at times, are at a chronic stage, working to prevent exacerbation and the onset of complications. This prevention extends to the creation of a treatment plan.
