Proceeding from the questionnaire survey on the genesis order of nosologic symptoms in 1672 patients and 2769 healthy people there are identified the following stages of prepathology: background biomedical state with risk factors--precarious period--premorbid stage--prenosologic state. The syndromes differentiating the above stages of prepathologic states are enumerated and the classification of risk factors is presented. The proposed diagnostic procedure needs no special laboratory equipment and extra cost, is rather simple and can be easily used by outpatient physicians. Thus there appears the possibility of timely elimination of unfavourable components of the registrar of health and risk factors (sanitary propaganda and correcting therapy) that can raise efficacy of primary disease prevention.
