On the preservation of health

Article Abstract:

The health preservation program emphasizes the chronicity of risks to health, the importance of ongoing interventions attuned to varying health pressures as they emerge over the life trajectory, and the need for more closely articulated preventive, public health, and policy programs. Attention to the environmental risks, prevention programs related to drug use, and extensive efforts in health education in schools are examples of public health elements that should be considered.
