Core Tip The rising global incidence of pediatric autoimmune diseases necessitates a strategic shift from reactive disease management to proactive prevention. This article outlines a comprehensive, integrated framework that leverages advances in genomics and exposomics to identify and intervene in high-risk children. The model begins with primordial prevention during the first 1000 days, progressing through primary and secondary interventions, and concluding with aggressive therapy for established disease. By adopting this tiered approach, clinicians, researchers, and public health officials can work collaboratively to alter disease trajectories, reduce the long-term burden of these conditions, and ultimately improve the health outcomes for future generations.
