''Preventive healthcare​ ​consists of measures taken for disease prevention. Disease and disability are affected by environmental factors, genetic predisposition, disease causing agents, and lifestyle choices​. These  are dynamic processes which ​usually ​begin before ​patients realize they are affected. Disease prevention relies on anticipatory actions, education of patients and ​the constant ​education of the professionals involves in the activity.​"​
