Abstract: (275 Views)

Lifestyle factors are responsible for nearly 60% of health and quality of life outcomes. The leading causes of death globally—such as heart disease, cancer, stroke, lung disease, and injuries—are strongly linked to unhealthy lifestyle choices, and modifying these behaviors heavily relies on effective health education. Health education is a cornerstone for improving public health and promoting healthy behavioral changes, and it has become an essential component of modern medical practice. A vital aspect of health education is patient education, which enhances clinical outcomes and brings social benefits. Through patient education, patients' understanding of their health conditions is increased, self-management is promoted, and health outcomes are improved. This, in turn, helps reduce medical costs and alleviate the economic burden on societ.
