Abstract
Primordial prevention targets the healthy population. It aims at supporting people in developing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle to minimize the development of risk factors for noncommunicable diseases. Childhood offers special starting points and opportunities for this. Essentially for this is the creation of health-promoting conditions. This requires the participation of medical and non-medical professionals. Community organizing can significantly foster this process of interdisciplinary and setting-related work. Primordial prevention in childhood cannot be achieved without the active participation of pediatricians.
