What is the main benefit of preventive care?
The biggest benefit for patients when it comes to preventative care is the increased chance of catching health conditions or diseases in the early stages, which means a higher likelihood of these conditions or diseases being managed quickly or mitigated completely. This translates to a lower chance of conditions being life-threatening, less chance of leading to disabilities and reducing the overall risk of diseases forming. Since diseases that are caught earlier are a lot easier to manage and treat than diseases or conditions that have gone untreated for a long time as this gives the disease or condition more time to develop into a potentially dangerous situation. Given the benefits of having preventative care appointments, it can be shocking for most to realize that most people in the United States are not undergoing these appointments, which can potentially be why there is such a high mortality rate for heart-related disease.
