Tag: Predisease

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over one-third of U.S. adults have prediabetes, a classic example of a pre-disease state. So, what is the meaning of pre disease? It's a medical term for a crucial, but often silent, warning stage before a full-blown illness takes hold.

According to a review published in *Epidemiologic Reviews*, the designation of a 'predisease' stage makes sense only if a feasible intervention can effectively reduce the likelihood of developing a full-blown illness. This critical, often asymptomatic phase is precisely what is the pre disease stage, representing a key window for early action.
