About risk factors

All chronic diseases develop gradually, but not from scratch. There are such conditions under which the probability of the onset of the onset of the disease increases. This is called risk factors. They can be identified long before the onset of the first symptoms of the disease. Correction with the help of medicines, nutrition, physiotherapy exercises and other instrumental medical methods makes it possible to reduce well and, in some cases, completely prevent the development of the disease.

It is much easier and cheaper to identify risk factors, rather than to carry out the belated diagnosis and treatment of the disease. The identification of risks helps to cure more effectively and quickly and to achieve full recovery.
