Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Health
  • Veteran Health
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Stroke poses a significant health burden, particularly for women veterans who experience higher rates of multimorbidity.
  • Existing research indicates a need to understand unique stroke risk factors in this population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize evidence on stroke risk factors specific to U.S. women veterans.
  • To identify associations between risk factors and delays in stroke prevention and treatment.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive scoping review of 1218 records across 6 major databases.
  • Inclusion criteria focused on peer-reviewed articles in English concerning women veterans, cardiovascular disease, and stroke risk factors.

Main Results:

  • Fourteen articles met inclusion criteria, with data from national and VA studies.
  • Stroke risk increases steadily from age 30 in women veterans, suggesting earlier screening than the current recommendation of 45.
  • Higher stroke incidence observed in veterans with PTSD, insomnia, TBI, constipation, and other conditions; Black veterans showed higher incidence than White veterans.

Conclusions:

  • Empirical literature on sex, gender, and veteran status in relation to stroke risk is limited.
  • Screening women veterans for post-traumatic stress disorder and stroke should begin at age 30.
  • Clinicians should screen and treat women veterans for PTSD and constipation, considering alternative therapies.
