[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) is conducting a survey on the status of the "Senior Health and Wellness Project" for residents aged 65 and older in the area in collaboration with Seoul National University Graduate School of Public Health until December 11.

The "Senior Health and Wellness Project" is a program that helps seniors manage their own health. Based on the results of a self-health assessment, it provides various health information, as well as interventions by visiting nurses and connections to local services.

The district selected two neighborhoods that are relatively vulnerable in terms of health and one neighborhood as a control group for the project. A comprehensive health status survey will be conducted on 1,200 seniors aged 65 and older residing in these neighborhoods.

Based on the results, the project will be implemented sequentially by administrative and neighborhood units from the end of the year, providing optimized services tailored to each individual.

The survey will be conducted by trained investigators wearing identification badges, visiting selected households, and conducting one-on-one interviews.

The survey will cover items such as current health and functional status, health behaviors, social participation, and falls, taking about 60 minutes. Surveyors will strictly adhere to personal hygiene and quarantine guidelines in response to COVID-19.

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, "This 'Senior Health and Wellness Project' will be a good opportunity for seniors to check their current health status and receive necessary medical services. We will continue to make efforts to help seniors live healthily."
