Why is it said that prevention is different from treatment?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Prevention reduces risk before disease occurs
Prevention aims to reduce the chance of disease or detect risk early before serious complications develop. It includes measures such as healthy eating, physical activity, vaccination where relevant, avoiding tobacco and screening. Treatment is care given after a disease or condition has been identified, with the aim of controlling symptoms, correcting the problem or preventing complications. The two approaches complement each other but are not identical.
