Gangdong-gu, Seoul, announced on the 10th that it will provide free medical examination of metabolic syndrome checkups and health counseling services for local residents aged 20 or older at the Cheonho Health Center, which opened in November last year. Adult diseases such as obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, and hyperlipemia are increasing among young people in their aged 20s and 30s due to poor eating habits and lack of exercise.

Free examination of metabolic syndrome tests are free of charge for any Gangdong-gu resident over the age of 20. It operates by the invitation for subion and conducts blood tests, blood pressure, and obesity index tests. If risk factors are found, doctors, nurses, nutritionists, exercise doctors, and dental hygienists provide personalized management services. For doing free examination of metabolic syndrome tests, you can fast for more than 8 hours, make a reservation by phone at the Cheonho Health Center, and visit the health care center. Intensive counseling, exercise classes, and nutrition classes are also operated to help manage metabolic syndrome, which is expected to contribute to improving the health of local residents. Lee Jung-hoon, head of Gangdong-gu District Office, said, "We will be able to provide health services to the underprivileged who were in the blind spot of health service benefits by carrying out health center projects that had been suspended to prevent the spread of COVID-19." |
