Primal and primordial prevention (Any measure aimed at helping future parents provide their upcoming child with adequate attention, as well as secure physical and affective environments from conception to first birthday (i.e., over the child's primal period of life).)
Primordial prevention refers to measures designed to avoid the development of risk factors in the first place, early in life.
Primary prevention (Methods to avoid occurrence of disease either through eliminating disease agents or increasing resistance to disease.)
Examples include immunization against disease, maintaining a healthy diet and exercise regimen, and avoiding smoking.
Secondary prevention (Methods to detect and address an existing disease prior to the appearance of symptoms.)
Examples include treatment of hypertension (a risk factor for many cardiovascular diseases), cancer screenings
Tertiary prevention (Methods to reduce the harm of symptomatic disease, such as disability or death, through rehabilitation and treatment.)
Examples include surgical procedures that halt the spread or progression of disease
Quaternary prevention (Methods to mitigate or avoid results of unnecessary or excessive interventions in the health system)
