According to the public health center on December 1, the "Fresh and Lively Health Class," which was operated from March to November this year, was held 5,335 times at a total of 88 locations. The program concluded successfully, with active participation from seniors and a high satisfaction rate of over 98%.

The "Fresh and Lively Health Class" is conducted twice a week, providing health exercises to strengthen the muscle and flexibility of elderly participants. In addition, local health professionals offer comprehensive health consultations, including dementia and depression management, as well as regular monitoring of blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, and atrial fibrillation to assess basic health status.

The program will also focus on providing education about winter health guidelines and the prevention of cold-related illnesses. In the event of a cold wave warning, staff will check on participants' well-being and support connections to health and medical services in emergencies, further strengthening care for the elderly.

Han Yongjae, Director of the Public Health Center, stated, "Although it is a season when outdoor activities are difficult due to the cold, I hope many seniors will participate in the 'Fresh and Lively Health Class' to take care of their health. We will continue to do our best to operate programs that strengthen muscle and promote physical activity for our citizens."
