Preventive medicine focuses on reducing the risk of disease occurrence or progression through measures such as vaccinations, screening tests (e.g., mammograms, colonoscopies), lifestyle modifications (e.g., smoking cessation, healthy diet), and public health initiatives (e.g., sanitation, disease surveillance, health education).
