Characteristics of health management

The characteristics of health management are as follows:

1, health management is to control health risk factors as the core, including variable risk factors and immutable risk factors. The former is a controllable factor that changes through its own behavior, such as unreasonable diet, lack of exercise, smoking and drinking, as well as abnormal factors such as hypertension, hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia. The latter is a factor beyond personal control, such as age, gender, family history and so on.

2, health management reflects the primary, secondary and tertiary prevention simultaneously. Primary prevention, that is, disease-free prevention, also known as etiological prevention, is to take measures against the causes or risk factors before the disease occurs, reduce the level of harmful exposure, enhance the ability of individuals to resist harmful exposure, and prevent the occurrence of diseases or at least delay the occurrence of diseases.

Secondary prevention, that is, early detection and early treatment of diseases, is also called preclinical prevention (or preclinical prevention), that is, the "three early" preventive measures of early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment of diseases.

This level of prevention is to prevent the changes of the disease before or in the early clinical stage through early detection, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, so that the disease can be found and treated in the early stage, avoid or reduce the occurrence of complications, sequelae and disabilities, or shorten the time of disability.

Three-level prevention, that is, treating diseases and preventing disabilities, is also called clinical prevention. Tertiary prevention can prevent disability, promote functional recovery, improve quality of life, prolong life and reduce mortality.

3. The service process of health management is a cycle of circular operation. The implementation links of health management are health monitoring (collecting personal health information of clients is the premise and foundation of continuous health management) and health assessment (predicting the risks of various diseases is the fundamental guarantee for implementing health management).

Health intervention (helping customers take action to control risk factors is the ultimate goal of implementing health management). In the whole service process, these three links are continuously circulated to reduce or reduce the number and level of risk factors and maintain a low risk level.
