Prevention is the avoidance of illness or (in a slightly broader sense) preventive care, i.e. a set of measures (and activities) designed to prevent illness, errors, injuries and their consequences and to maintain, improve and develop optimal health.
Primary prevention
Primary prevention (creative prevention, constructive prevention, first-phase prevention) is prevention that focuses on
1. non-specific health promotion, in order to strengthen the individual's defences and reduce the potential incidence of health disorders
2. specific to the danger, i.e. prophylaxis aimed at reducing the risk of disorders. Vaccination is a typical example.
Secondary prevention
Secondary prevention (secondary prevention, prevention-oriented therapy) is a set of measures designed to prevent the onset of a disease from which an individual already suffers, or to prevent the development of a disease or its complications when the disease is at a latent stage or the individual is at risk. This involves, for example, modifying lifestyle and banning smoking and alcohol to prevent a new myocardial infarction.
Tertiary prevention
Tertiary prevention is essentially medical rehabilitation.
