The document outlines the four levels of prevention: primordial, primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primordial prevention aims to prevent the development of risk factors through lifestyle changes like exercise, nutrition, and restricting tobacco/alcohol. Primary prevention targets the whole population and high-risk groups to stop disease progression using public health strategies and screening high-risk individuals. Secondary prevention focuses on early diagnosis and treatment for those who already have a disease. Tertiary prevention aims to prevent disability and support rehabilitation.
