    Prevention; Definition and


    Concept

    Actions aimed at eradicating,


    eliminating or minimizing the impact
    of disease and disability, or if none of
    these are feasible, retarding the
    progress of the disease and disability.
    The concept of prevention is best
    defined in the context of levels,
    traditionally called primary, secondary
    and tertiary prevention. A fourth level,
    called primordial prevention, was later
    added.
