Lifestyle medicine

Lifestyle medicine ( english lifestyle medicine ) refers to the prevention and treatment of lifestyle - related diseases ( syn. diseases of civilization, prosperity disorders ) by measures of nutritional medicine, exercise medicine and psychological and social measures.

Lifestyle medicine is an interdisciplinary field of preventive medicine, internal medicine, psychology, sociology, public health care ( 'public health' ) with evolutionary biology and molecular biological aspects. But it should not be confused with pure lifestyle drugs. The first university department of Lebenssstilmedizin in Germany was founded by Michael Sagner at the University Hospital Eppendorf Hamburg.
