Primary Healthcare Services

1.9K
Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.

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...

Principles of Disease Surveillance01:26

Principles of Disease Surveillance

439
Disease surveillance is the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health data essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice. This process integrates data dissemination to entities responsible for preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability. Surveillance systems provide crucial information for action, helping public health authorities make informed decisions to manage and prevent outbreaks, ensure public safety, optimize...

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...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Alzheimer's disease and other dementias (ADOD) burden in Pakistan is high, with increasing mortality despite decreasing incidence. Population aging and metabolic risks like high fasting plasma glucose are key factors, particularly affecting older females.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Public Health
  • Geriatrics

Background:

  • Alzheimer's disease and other dementias (ADOD) pose a significant health challenge globally and in Pakistan.
  • Understanding the burden and trends of ADOD is crucial for public health planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the national and provincial burden of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias (ADOD) in Pakistan.
  • To identify attributable factors and temporal trends of ADOD from 1990 to 2021.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Global Burden of Diseases Study 2021 data for Pakistan.
  • Estimated incidence, mortality rates, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for ADOD.
  • Analyzed temporal trends using average annual percentage changes (AAPCs).

Main Results:

  • Pakistan has the highest ADOD burden in South Asia after Bhutan.
  • Age-standardized incidence rates (ASIR) decreased, while death rates (ASDR) and DALYs rates increased from 1990-2021.
  • Population aging drove increases in ADOD cases and DALYs; older females and Islamabad region showed higher burdens. High fasting plasma glucose was a leading mortality cause.

Conclusions:

  • ADOD is a major concern requiring targeted healthcare interventions, especially for older women.
  • Prioritizing prevention strategies for metabolic risks like high fasting plasma glucose is essential to reduce ADOD mortality.
