New Trends in Modern Public Health Care: From Treatment to Prevention

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The World Health Organisation defines public health as “the art and science of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting health through the organised efforts of society”. Public health is important because it addresses the various health risks which can arise over time throughout populations. Also, public health research outcomes provide the empirical foundation needed to shape health policies, optimize clinical care, and improve population well-being. Against this background, applied health science focuses on improving individual and community health through a variety of applied methods, with an emphasis on preventive measures and health promotion. Interdisciplinary collaboration is essential to applied health research and to the overall health and wellbeing of the populations served. Given that the health research encompasses scientific investigations aimed at understanding diseases, developing treatments, and improving overall human well-being, this Topic is designed to foster new knowledge about human health as well as support physical and mental health and to prevent disease. Additionally, this Topic focuses on how professionals via the implementation of health technology can help individuals achieve optimal health and fitness while leading more balanced and meaningful lives. Scientists are invited to provide academic works (reviews, findings from observational and experimental studies, and population-based and clinically orientated health research) related to global health challenges across a range of conditions. Future manuscripts can also include studies of biology, anatomy, physiology, nutrition, fitness assessment, exercise prescription, and the prevention and control of disease. Manuscripts should reflect original research with well-articulated research aims/questions, precise methodologies (including clearly identified outcomes, a description of the sample population, recruitment, implementation process, measurement instruments, analytic plan, and special software), and elaborated discussions of the findings, policies, practices, and research implications.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
