Chronic Disease Prevention: An Important Key to Improving Life and Healthcare Systems Today
Journal Title: Annals of Bioethics & Clinical Applications - Year 2022, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
News about crisis in healthcare pointing to workforce shortages, ambulance diversion and delays on entry to emergency rooms, closing floors while demand for beds increases, long delays for appointments in primary and specialty care, and shortages of supplies and medications all lead to proposed solutions for each issue. These are all important, but incomplete without addressing the proven opportunities for prevention of chronic conditions and risk factors that lead to them. When we consider what could be gained by preventing many cases of overweight and obesity, reducing stress on our bodies through better diet and more activity, better outcomes through screening for common cancers and other public health strategies, we can see clearly that investing in these efforts on a national basis must be part of the solution.
