Annotation
Preventive medicine is a medical specialization that deals with the terms of health protection and health promotion. Health protection includes the study of factors of the living and working environment (biological, chemical, and physical factors) that can induce the emergence and development of diseases (especially cardiovascular, metabolic, and oncological diseases) and proposals for reduction of their risks. Health promotion includes the study of lifestyle factors that can induce the emergence and development of diseases (especially cardiovascular, metabolic, and oncological diseases) and proposals for reduction of their risks.
The course of Preventive Medicine II is a continuation of the course Preventive Medicine I (during the winter semester) and contain selected chapters mainly from the field of Health Protection. The course is focused on dangerous factors in the living and occupational environment and on possibilities of primary and early secondary prevention.
