Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Chronic diseases remain the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Effective prevention strategies and robust risk control measures are paramount to mitigating their impact and fostering healthier populations. As societies continue to age and lifestyles evolve, it is more urgent than ever to develop evidence-based strategies for prevention and control. This Special Issue of Healthcare aims to bring together cutting-edge research, policy analysis, and practical approaches to mitigate the burden of chronic diseases across diverse populations.

We welcome submissions on a broad range of topics, including, but not limited to, lifestyle interventions, early risk detection, health behavior change, community-based prevention programs, health equity in chronic disease management, and the use of digital health tools in risk control. Interdisciplinary and international perspectives are particularly encouraged, including those from public health, medicine, sociology, epidemiology, behavioral science, and health policy.

Researchers, clinicians, and practitioners are invited to contribute original research, reviews, and perspectives that can inform future action and collaboration in chronic disease prevention. Join us in shaping the future of public health and clinical practice in this crucial area.

Dr. Teruhide Koyama
Guest Editor
