Annotation

English

Preventive medicine is a medical field that focuses on the health protection and promotion. Health protection involves studying environmental and occupational factors (biological, chemical, and physical) that can cause the onset and development of diseases (especially cardiovascular, metabolic, and cancerous diseases) and provides recommendations to reduce their risks. Health promotion includes studying lifestyle factors that can lead to the development of the aforementioned diseases. The course discusses the possibilities for primary and secondary prevention, including the principles of a healthy lifestyle.
