AB  - A  primary  goal  of  health  care  is  to  prevent  disease  or  to  detect  it  early  enough  that  interventions  will  be  more  effective.  The  ultimate  goal  of  preventive  strategies  is  to  avoid  premature  death.  However,  as  longevity  has  increased  dramatically  worldwide  over  the  last  century  (largely  as  a  result  of  public  health  practices),  increasing  emphasis  is  placed  on  prevention  for  the  purpose  of  preserving  quality  of  life  and  extending  the  healthspan,  not  just  the  life  span.  Focusing  on  health  promotion,  rather  than  just  disease  prevention,  may  also  provide  greater  motivation  for  pts  to  pursue  lifestyle  changes  or  adhere  to  clinician  recommendations.  Empowering  pts  with  strategies  to  achieve  positive  health  goals  after  discussing  risks  (i.e.,  smoking)  can  provide  more  effective  adherence  and  better  long-term  outcomes.
