Abstract:
Epidemiological and demographic transition has brought populations to an extended life expectancy in the 21st Century. The diseases of this century are complex, which stem mainly from the complex interactions of the human genome with lifestyle and environmental factors. These diseases are common, chronic and costly. Currently, the best-known prevention for complex diseases is adopting a healthy lifestyle. However, this is not achieved in many places in the world. Effective intervention models, including lifestyle changes for the prevention of these diseases, is urgently needed. In this report, we introduce a preventive healthcare model based on personalized healthcare. It is based on the application of public health genomics tools and concepts on an individual level, in order to stratify individuals according to risk groups, prevent diseases and detect them early.
