Within the field of general medicine, the last two decades have
seen the curative procedures increasingly supplemented by func
tions that can be summed up under the heading of "preventive health
care." There is a close link between this development and the
changing morbidity pattern. In highly developed countries the
morbidity rate attributable to infectious diseases has been much
reduced, while the various types of arteriosclerosis, some tumorous
conditions, and so-called functional syndromes have attained
massive incidence rates. Systematic epidemiologic studies have
yielded the concept of risk factors, i. e., certain exogenous and
endogenous factors whose elimination, ideally, would make it
possible to avoid the manifestation of an illness or to ensure it
did not become mani fest until later in life or in a milder form.
The socioeconomic and sociomedical significance of these aspects is
considerable, as can be seen from all the statistics on the reasons
for incapacity and early retirement and on the relative
contributions of different ill nesses to total mortality. Effective
avoidance of illnesses by primary prophylaxis (elimi nation of the
causes of disease) or early detection of the symp toms of disease
(secondary prophylaxis) leading to early treat ment would be a
particularly significant step forward, since in the case of most of
the conditions mentioned above only pallia tive forms of treatment
are available, and none that have any cu rative effect."
