The Senior Integrated Health Promotion Project is an advanced program developed from the 'Senior Lifestyle Change Project,' which the Pulmuone Foundation piloted last year at senior welfare centers in three districts of Seoul to manage the elderly's eating and exercise habits. While the previous project focused on nutrition counseling and dietary education, this new program adds education on exercise and sleep habits and includes support for health functional foods tailored for the elderly. The operational areas have also been expanded to six districts in the metropolitan area this year.

The education program is a 10-week course targeting seniors aged 65 and older. Each week consists of theoretical education and activities related to eating habits, exercise habits, and sleep habits. The dietary education includes theoretical lessons on practicing nutritional balance and meal methods to prevent metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular diseases, along with activities such as creating personalized meal plans and food therapy. Exercise and sleep habit education are conducted through senior-tailored theoretical lessons and activities.

Kim Ji-won, the project manager at the Pulmuone Foundation, stated, "As we expect to enter a super-aged society with more than 20% of the population being elderly after 2025, we have launched this project to help extend the healthy lifespan of seniors." She added, "We plan to continuously expand the number of educational sessions and regions to comprehensively manage the health of more seniors in various areas."
