Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

14.1K
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...

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Neurology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a leading cause of dementia globally, disproportionately affecting the elderly and women.
  • Risk factors for AD include age, lifestyle, genetics, family history, education, and income.
  • This study focused on cognitive and sociodemographic profiles of elderly AD patients receiving family support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the cognitive status of elderly individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
  • To analyze the sociodemographic characteristics of this patient group.
  • To explore potential correlations between socioeconomic factors and cognitive decline in AD patients.

Main Methods:

  • An observational study conducted in Paraná state, Brazil, in 2023.
  • Participants were recruited via the public health system.
  • Data collection involved questionnaires and semi-structured interviews for sociodemographic and cognitive assessment.

Main Results:

  • 48 elderly participants (mean age 79.28 years; 60.4% female) were analyzed.
  • 81.25% had not completed elementary education, and 54.16% of families earned over five times the minimum wage.
  • Severe cognitive impairment (CDR 3) was found in 33% of participants.

Conclusions:

  • Severe dementia staging (CDR 3) was prevalent, potentially linked to low education and income.
  • Epidemiological research is vital for understanding chronic diseases like AD.
  • Early intervention strategies are crucial for improving the quality of life for individuals with AD.
