Concept of disease control and concept of disease preventionNithin Mathew
1) Disease control aims to reduce the incidence, duration, and transmission of disease as well as its physical and psychological effects and financial burden on communities. It focuses on primary and secondary prevention.
2) Disease elimination aims to interrupt disease transmission at a regional level, as with measles, polio, and diphtheria. Eradication means terminating all transmission globally, which has only been achieved for smallpox so far.
3) Monitoring involves routine measurement of health status and environments, while surveillance provides continuous scrutiny of disease occurrence and distribution through programs like polio surveillance.
This document discusses different levels of prevention: primordial, primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primordial prevention aims to prevent risk factors from emerging, while primary prevention removes the possibility of disease through health promotion and protection measures for the whole population. Secondary prevention uses early diagnosis and treatment to stop disease progression. Tertiary prevention attempts to reduce and limit impairments and disabilities through rehabilitation for diseases that have advanced.
This ppt contains all the information about Concepts and levels of prevention. It is useful for students of the medical field learning Preventive and social medicine, Swasthavritta (Ayurved), and everyone who is interested in knowing about it
This document outlines the different levels of prevention in health: primordial, primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primordial prevention aims to prevent risk factors from emerging in populations through health education. Primary prevention removes the possibility of disease through actions like immunizations, nutrition programs, and lifestyle changes. Secondary prevention halts disease progression and prevents complications through screening, treatment of known cases, and limiting spread. Tertiary prevention focuses on rehabilitation and reducing impairments and disabilities for existing health issues through measures like disability limitation and vocational training.
Concept of disease prevention and control 1234Rahman Shuvo
The document discusses different levels of disease prevention and control, including:
- Disease control aims to reduce a disease to an acceptable level in a community through primary prevention activities. Disease elimination interrupts transmission in a geographic area. Disease eradication completely eliminates a disease globally, as was done with smallpox.
- Other levels of disease prevention include primordial prevention of risk factors, primary prevention through vaccination and treatment, secondary prevention through early diagnosis and treatment, and tertiary prevention through disability limitation and rehabilitation.
- Effective disease prevention and control requires monitoring disease trends, surveillance programs, and addressing diseases through various intervention approaches like health promotion, immunization, treatment and rehabilitation.
Primordial prevention aims to prevent risk factors from emerging by promoting healthy social and environmental conditions. Primary prevention removes the possibility of disease through measures like health education, immunization, and controlling environmental hazards. Secondary prevention detects disease early through screening and treats it before irreversible damage occurs. Tertiary prevention focuses on rehabilitation to reduce impairments and disabilities caused by advanced disease through medical, social, and vocational support. Together, these levels of prevention work to promote health and quality of life at all stages of disease development and progression.
This document provides an overview of epidemiology, including its basic concepts, principles, scope, and measurement tools. Some key points:
- Epidemiology is the study of disease distribution and determinants in populations, and is used to prevent and control health problems. It describes disease patterns and identifies risk factors.
- Epidemiological principles are applied in various areas like clinical research, disease prevention, and health services evaluation. Measurement tools include rates, ratios, and proportions to quantify disease frequency and burden.
- The scope of epidemiology includes measuring mortality, morbidity, disability, births, risk factors, and assessing health needs in populations. Different study designs are used to investigate disease etiology and evaluate interventions.

Primordial prevention
Primary prevention
Secondary prevention
Tertiary prevention
Quaternary prevention is the fourth dimension of prevention that aims to avoid unnecessary medical actions. It was first suggested in 2015 as a way to control the economic and human costs of healthcare by preventing overmedicalization. Quaternary prevention encourages doctors to critically examine their own practices and consider "not doing" certain interventions to avoid potential harms of misdiagnosis, missed diagnosis, defensive medicine, or inducing unnecessary anxiety in patients. It promotes an ethically balanced approach that respects the patient-doctor relationship through open communication and understanding each patient's perspective.
CONCEPT OF PREVENTION OF DISEASE
Actions aimed at eradicating, eliminating, or minimizing the impact of disease and disability.
The concept of prevention is best defined in the context of levels, traditionally called primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention”
1) This document discusses the four levels of prevention: primordial, primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
2) Primordial prevention aims to prevent risk factors from developing in a population. Primary prevention takes place before disease onset by promoting healthy behaviors.
3) Secondary prevention involves early disease detection and treatment to prevent complications. Tertiary prevention focuses on reducing impairments and disabilities from established disease.
Prevention is better than cure. There are four levels of prevention: primordial, primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primordial prevention aims to prevent risk factors from arising in a population. Primary prevention removes the possibility of disease by addressing risk factors before onset. Secondary prevention halts disease progression through early detection and treatment. Tertiary prevention focuses on rehabilitation and reducing impairments and disabilities for those with advanced disease. The strategies of prevention include health promotion, specific protection, early diagnosis and treatment, disability limitation, and rehabilitation.
This document discusses public health problems and outlines criteria for determining priority public health issues. It defines key terms like health, disease, illness, and ill health. Public health aims to prevent disease through organized community efforts. Demands on health care exceed resources due to factors like population growth, aging, and unhealthy environments. Priority public health problems are determined by prevalence, individual impact, societal impact, and potential for prevention/treatment. The document concludes that governments should implement policies to reduce population growth, increase health sector resources, and encourage individual health maintenance.
This document provides an introduction to epidemiology, including definitions of key terms, the history and scope of epidemiology, study designs, and methods of measuring disease frequency and distribution in populations. It defines epidemiology as the study of disease patterns in human populations and the application of this study to disease control. The summary discusses the origins of epidemiology in Hippocrates' work and its development through pioneers like John Graunt, William Farr, and John Snow. It also outlines common study designs like cross-sectional and longitudinal studies and how epidemiology is used to describe, analyze, and prevent disease.
Lec levels of prevention intervention 2021Tauseef Jawaid
Dr. Muhammad Tauseef Javed discusses the levels of disease prevention which include primordial, primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention. Primordial prevention aims to avoid risk factors in whole populations through public health policy. Primary prevention reduces risk factors and disease occurrence through interventions targeted at healthy groups. Secondary prevention avoids irreversible damage through detecting and treating disease in pre-clinical phases in high-risk groups. Tertiary prevention aims to avoid disability and restore function in patients with clinical disease.

This lecture discusses how personal choices and lifestyle factors are powerful influences on health. It begins by exploring current health statistics in America, which show high rates of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and other chronic diseases. These poor health outcomes are linked to most Americans eating more calories, sugar, salt and meat compared to the past, while being less physically active. The lecture then reviews several scientific studies that demonstrate how lifestyle modifications like improved nutrition, increased exercise, weight management and avoiding tobacco can significantly reduce risks for chronic diseases and mortality. It emphasizes that lifestyle is a major determinant of health outcomes. The lecture concludes by encouraging participants to prioritize healthy living through personal goal setting and lifestyle changes.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, responsible for over 600,000 deaths yearly. Risk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, smoking, and lack of physical activity. Symptoms of heart disease can include chest pain or pressure, pain or cramping in the legs with exercise, and numbness or coldness in the feet or legs. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle through diet, exercise, not smoking, and managing conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes can help prevent and manage heart disease.
Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a serious health condition defined by a systolic blood pressure over 140 mmHg or a diastolic over 90 mmHg. It often has no symptoms, so the only way to know if you have it is to get your blood pressure checked. Risk factors include age, race, family history, diabetes, obesity, excess sodium intake, physical inactivity, excess alcohol, and smoking. Left untreated, hypertension can lead to heart disease, stroke, kidney disease and death. Treatment involves lifestyle changes like a healthy diet low in sodium, weight loss, exercise, and quitting smoking. If lifestyle changes are not effective, medications may be prescribed.
Your heart matters by Dr. Justina Trottsantaferotary
1) Heart disease is the leading cause of death for American women, killing 1 in 3, but risk factors and symptoms can differ between women and men.
2) A new study found that race, gender, and insurance status affect how patients with chest pain are evaluated in emergency rooms.
3) While heart disease risk rises for women after menopause due to dropping estrogen levels, lifestyle changes like not smoking, managing blood pressure and cholesterol, and regular exercise can help prevent and control heart disease.

1) Men are more likely than women to develop certain illnesses and die from many leading causes of death. However, women on average live about 5 years longer than men.
2) Biological, social, and behavioral factors all contribute to differences in health outcomes between men and women. Behavioral risks for men include smoking, lack of exercise, poor diet, alcohol abuse, and not seeking regular medical care.
3) Doctors recommend that men adopt a healthy lifestyle through diet, exercise, moderating alcohol, managing stress, and regular medical checkups to help
Lifestyle Medicine: The Power of Personal Choices, North American Vegetarian...EsserHealth
Lifestyle Medicine focuses on applying behavioral and environmental principles to managing lifestyle-related health problems. Chronic diseases now account for 75% of healthcare costs in the US, many of which are strongly associated with diet and physical inactivity. While genetics play a role, the rise of these "lifestyle diseases" correlates with changes in American diets and exercise patterns over recent decades. Prospective randomized studies demonstrate that organized lifestyle interventions can significantly reduce disease incidence and healthcare costs compared to prescription medications. Lifestyle Medicine aims to educate and empower individuals to make personal choices that can transform health outcomes on both individual and societal levels.

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY DESIGN- RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIALRishank Shahi
Randomized controlled clinical trial is a prospective experimental study.
It essentially involves comparing the outcomes in two groups of patients treated with a test treatment and a control treatment, both groups are followed over the same period of time. Prepare a plan of study or protocol
a. Define clear objectives
b. State the inclusion and exclusion criteria of case
c. Determine the sample size, place and period of study
d. Design of trial (single blind, double blind and triple blind method)
2. Define study population: Most often the patients are chosen from hospital or from the community. For example, for a study for comparison of home and sanatorium treatment, open cases of tuberculosis may be chosen.
3. Selection of participants by defined criteria as per plan:
Selection of participants should be done with precision and should be precisely stated in writing so that it can be replicated by others. For example, out of open cases of tuberculosis those who fulfill criteria for inclusion may be selected (age groups, severity of disease and treatment taken or not, etc.)
Randomization ensures that participants have an equal chance to be assigned to one of two or more groups:
One group gets the most widely accepted treatment (standard treatment/ gold standard)
The other gets the new treatment being tested, which researchers hope and have reason to believe will be better than the standard treatment
Subject variation: First, there may be bias on the part of the participants, who may subjectively feel better or report improvement if they knew they were receiving a new form of treatment.
Observer bias: The investigator measuring the outcome of a therapeutic trial may be influenced if he knows beforehand the particular procedure or therapy to which the patient has been subjected.
Evaluation bias: There may be bias in evaluation - that is, the investigator(Analyzer) may subconsciously give a favorable report of the outcome of the trial.
Co-intervention:
participants use other therapy or change behavior
Study staff, medical providers, family or friends treat participants differently.
Biased outcome ascertainment:
participants may report symptoms or outcomes differently or physicians
Investigators may elicit symptoms or outcomes differently
A technique used to prevent selection bias by concealing the allocation sequence from those assigning participants to intervention groups, until the moment of assignment.
Allocation concealment prevents researchers from influencing which participants are assigned to a given intervention group.
All clinical trials must be approved by Institutional Ethics Committee before initiation
It is mandatory to register clinical trials with Clinical Trials Registry of India
Informed consent from all study participants is mandatory.
A preclinical trial is a stage of research that begins before clinical trials, and during which important feasibility and drug safety data are collected.
