Overview
Individual and population disease risk factor screening involves systematic assessment of individuals or groups to identify characteristics, behaviors, or biomarkers that increase susceptibility to disease, enabling early detection and targeted prevention strategies. Research published in Preventive Medicine And Care addresses diverse aspects of this topic across multiple health domains and geographic contexts. Studies have examined screening uptake patterns, including breast cancer screening participation among healthcare workers in Nigeria, and the prevalence of infectious agents such as Campylobacter species in clinical populations. The journal has published work on cardiovascular risk stratification in patients with type 2 diabetes through coronary artery calcification assessment, as well as visual field abnormality detection using specialized perimetry techniques. Population-level investigations have explored intrauterine death patterns with comparative epidemiological analysis, psychosocial factors influencing substance use among adolescents, and environmental risk assessment through sensory cue evaluation in residential care settings. This research contributes to understanding how screening programs function in varied healthcare systems, identifies gaps in preventive service utilization, and characterizes disease risk distributions across different populations, ultimately informing evidence-based approaches to reducing disease burden through early identification and intervention.
