Personalized Preventive Strategies for Non-Communicable Diseases in Primary Care

Abstract
Introduction:
Non-communicable diseases (such as hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cardiovascular disease) represent a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Preventive medicine is the primary care approach to early detection and treatment. Preventive medicine aims to coordinate patient care and interventions based on patient-specific criteria to improve health outcomes and resource utilization. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and short-term outcomes of personalized cancer screening in a primary care clinic.

Methods:
A prospective observational study was conducted in a primary care clinic over a three-month period. Patients aged 18–70 years were assessed using a structured assessment tool that included demographic data, current history, and the Meyer's risk profile (blood pressure, body mass index, fasting blood sugar, and advanced risk profile). The average risk category (low, high, and low) was determined by the patient's individualized consultations, personalized lifestyle recommendations, and personalized lessons.

Results:
Of the 150 patients, 38% were classified as high-risk, 42% as moderate-risk, and 20% as very high-risk. After three months of follow-up, 45% of patients with the disease showed improved blood pressure control, and 30% showed improved adherence to normal activity. The high-risk group also showed significant improvements in dietary and weight management.

Conclusion:
With a small number of people in healthcare, it should be feasible and effective to implement a patient-centered approach to health behaviors. This could play a significant role in reducing the long-term burden of involuntary treatment and patient-centered care in similar healthcare settings.
