EARLY DIAGNOSIS AND PREVENTION STRATEGIES OF ENDOCRINE DISEASES AT THE PRIMARY CARE LEVEL
Vol. 5 No. 10 (2025): Eurasian Journal of Medical and Natural Sciences 48-51
Abstract
Endocrine disorders are among the most prevalent chronic diseases worldwide, with significant impact on public health and quality of life. Primary health care plays a crucial role in the early detection and prevention of such conditions, including diabetes mellitus, thyroid dysfunctions, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. Timely diagnosis at the primary care level allows for more effective interventions, reduces the risk of complications, and decreases the overall economic burden on the healthcare system. This study aims to analyze the current challenges in early identification of endocrine diseases, assess preventive measures, and propose strategies to improve diagnostic efficiency and patient outcomes in primary health care settings.
