Preventive medicine focuses on the three levels of prevention: primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primary prevention aims to reduce disease occurrence by promoting health (e.g., vaccinations, lifestyle modifications). Secondary prevention focuses on early detection and treatment, such as screenings for hypertension or diabetes. Tertiary prevention involves rehabilitation and reducing the impact of established diseases, such as physiotherapy for stroke recovery. These strategies are the backbone of disease control and public health improvement.

Health is influenced by social determinants, including income, education, housing, and access to healthcare. These factors shape individual and community well-being. Addressing inequalities and improving these determinants can significantly enhance population health. For instance, ensuring clean water, sanitation, and proper nutrition reduces communicable diseases and improves life expectancy. Recognizing and mitigating these influences is crucial in preventive and social medicine.
