“The Evolution of Health Promotion and Disease Prevention: A Comprehensive Review”
Abstract
As communities aim to boost general health, lower healthcare costs, and increase healthy life expectancy, the ideas of illness prevention and health promotion have grown more central to public health. Beginning with basic definitions, this review traces the evolution of these practices: health promotion involves efforts to improve people’s and communities’ capacity to make health-positive choices and actively manage their health, whereas disease prevention aims to reduce risk factors that lead to sickness, disability, or early death. This paper traces the evolution of public health policy in the US through key moments in history, starting with the famous Healthy People report that established nationwide objectives for better health through changes in lifestyle, behavior, and the environment. These goals were further formalized with the formation of the US Preventive Services Task Force, which prioritizes risk reduction and provides clinical recommendations for preventative actions.The application of these ideas to aging populations is the focus of this article, which delves into primary, secondary, and tertiary preventative techniques to tackle the specific health issues that older people encounter. We also talk about how eHealth tools like telehealth and mobile health apps are becoming more important in helping underprivileged and rural areas with preventative care and wellness programs. Finally, the review emphasizes the importance of culturally tailored interventions and the integration of preventive strategies across healthcare sectors as critical challenges. It emphasizes that individuals, healthcare providers, and policymakers must collaborate for effective health promotion and disease prevention. The research indicates that public health initiatives can help build healthier communities that can stick to their healthy habits over the long haul by combining old and new approaches.
