[Muan＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Muan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim San) announced on the 24th that it operated a "Useful Vascular Story Class" throughout November for registered members of the Disabled Association in 9 towns and townships to prevent chronic diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which account for about 80% of all causes of death.

The Useful Vascular Story Class is a program designed to increase awareness among local residents about their vascular numbers through metabolic syndrome tests such as blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol, encouraging them to make efforts to improve their own health management.

The program consisted of basic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease tests and consultations, education on the 9 major lifestyle rules for disease prevention, learning about one's vascular numbers, the Red Circle campaign, disability awareness improvement, and early cancer screening promotion.

This health class received great responses from participants by improving health conditions and enhancing self-health management abilities, targeting disabled individuals vulnerable to chronic diseases due to physical limitations.

Additionally, various educational programs are being operated together to prevent fall accidents through stretching and muscle strengthening exercises that residents can easily follow, enabling a healthy and active life during the winter season.

Governor Kim San stated, “We plan to do our best in preventing and managing chronic diseases among local residents by providing integrated services linked with community-centered rehabilitation projects, as well as chronic disease prevention education and the self-vascular number awareness campaign.”
