''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."
