Event Description:
Chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and cancer are leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Effective risk reduction strategies focus on promoting preventive care, lifestyle modification, and early intervention to minimize the long-term impact of these conditions. A helpful framework in guiding chronic disease prevention is the 4Ms: Mobility, Mentation, Medication, and What Matters. Originally developed for age-friendly health systems, this model also supports a holistic approach to chronic disease management across diverse populations. By integrating the 4Ms into chronic disease prevention strategies, healthcare providers can offer comprehensive, person-centered care that reduces risks and enhances quality of life.
