United Press International
ATLANTA — Federal health offi
cials are developing a new national
public health strategy based on the
concept of preventing rather than
curing disease with the aim of further
increasing the life span of Amer-
“We are developing a national
strategy for prevention,” says Dr.
William Foege, director of the na
tional Center for Disease Control.
“We have had lots of strategies be
fore, but we are now coming to a
consensus.”
Foege said in the past 75 years, by
some estimates, preventive medi
cine added 11 years to the average
life span.
“In the next 75 years, it will be th
H when you ctmuri&uk, ||
major factor in improving modern
medicine and the quality of life.”
The national effort to prevent dis
ease has the whole-hearted coopera
tion of Surgeon General Julius Rich
mond, Foege, various federal health
agencies and many state and private
medical organizations.
The expected life span of Amer
icans, now 73.2 years, increased by
2.7 years in the past decade. During
the previous decade, it increased by
only one year.
Medical authorities have given
much of the credit for this increase in
longevity to prevention. Nearly all
the gains against the once-great kil
lers — typhoid fever, smallpox, and
plague — came as a result of im
provements in sanitation, housing,
nutrition and immunization.
Some recent gains, particularly a
decline in deaths due to heart dis
ease, resulted from changes in lifes
tyle — a new awareness of the dan
gers of smoking, overuse of alcohol
and lack of exercise.
The big push to embrace preven
tive medicine as a national strategy
rather than pumping more billions of
dollars into treatment programs and
building more hospitals began two
years ago. An advisory committee to
the CDC, made up of health experts
in and out of government, was
formed at that time.

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
Recommendations for a national
disease prevention program were
drawn up and presented to Rich
mond and Foege. Based on those
recommendations, Richmond issued
a report last year titled “Healthy
People,” along with model standards
for community preventive health
services.
The principal message in those re
commendations, Foege said, was the
importance of educating and en
couraging people to look after their
own health.
“What we re trying to do is iden
tify people at high risk and then per
sonalizing the message to them.
We’re asking people to participate in
their own health. It’s a series of day-
to-day steps that people have to be
come involved in.”
Twentieth Century medicine,
according to Foege, has added only
six more years to the average Amer
ican life span. But he said people
practicing prevention increased
their life span by 11 years.
The four most important steps a
person can take to promote his own
health are to stop smoking, use alco
hol in moderation, eat properly and
exercise regularly, he said.
"Smoking is our No. 1 public
health problem. People have the
feeling that cancer in general is in
creasing. But what’s rising is tobac
co-related cancer.”
Smoking has been linked to can
cer, heart attacks and other diseases.
An estimated 35 million Americans
still smoke cigarettes, particularly
teenagers and women, although the
percentage of smokers to the total
population is decreasing.
Excessive use of alcohol causes cir
rhosis of the liver and accidents, said
Foege, while the worst dietary habit
of Americans is the consumption of
too much fat.
The use of seat belts in cars and
getting regular checks for high blood
pressure also were included in
Foege’s preventive medicine list.
Billed by some medical authorities
as “the second public health revolu
tion in the history of the United
States, the new emphasis on pre
vention concentrates on the de
generative diseases of the heart and
circulatory system, certain cancers
and other health problems such as
alcohol, contamination of drinking
water, dental diseases, diseases
caused by hazardous health expo
sures in the workplace, infant mor
tality, motor vehicle accidents, new
ly recognized diseases and unex
pected epidemics, hospital infec
tions, smoking and its consequences,
and vaccine-preventable diseases of
children.
