Annotation

Preventive medicine is a medical field that deals with the protection and promotion of health. Health promotion includes the study of lifestyle factors (nutrition, physical activity, harmful habits, and excessive levels of psychological stress) that can induce the emergence and development of diseases (especially cardiovascular, metabolic and cancer). The course content consists of selected chapters primarily from the field of Health Promotion. The teaching is focused on the detailed identification and characterization of the danger of lifestyle factors, on the evaluation of the degree of their presence in the population and on the evaluation of the related health risk. The options for primary and secondary prevention are discussed, which includes media and institutional forms of recommending healthy lifestyle principles (structure and volume of food; type, volume, intensity, and frequency of appropriate and regular physical activity; opportunities for reducing alcohol and tobacco and drug addictions and the risk and possibility of influencing excessive psychological stress).
