Abstract:
[Objective]To explore the feasibility of integrating traditional Chinese and western medicine in three-level prevention.[Methods]Through literature review and policy analysis,the current status of the"preventive treatment of disease"concept in traditional Chinese medicine is examined,discussing the feasibility and current practices of integrating traditional Chinese and western medicine in three-level prevention,and strategies for combining traditional Chinese and western medicine in three-level prevention disease models.[Results]The integration of the"preventive treatment of disease"theory with three-level prevention mainly focuses on preventing the occurrence of susceptible diseases,regulating imbalanced constitutions,correcting constitution imbalances,improving constitution and reducing the likelihood of recurrence.The country advocates combining traditional Chinese medicine with modern medicine,strengthening public health management through three-level prevention and the establishment of"preventive treatment of disease"centers,enhancing the overall health level of the population and advancing the realization of the Healthy China Strategy.According to the theory and methods of three-level prevention,disease models can be divided into predictive,diagnostic and prognostic models,emphasizing different stages of prevention and intervention.Combining these models can formulate targeted prevention and treatment strategies,control disease development,reduce disease harm and improve overall health levels,while integrating traditional Chinese medicine elements into statistical models may enhance prediction accuracy.[Conclusion]The concept of"preventive treatment of disease"in traditional Chinese medicine complements the three-level prevention concept of modern medicine,and their combination can jointly promote health,enhance decision-making efficiency and contribute to the goal of"Healthy China 2030".
