The Seoul Metropolitan Government will hold a metabolic syndrome prevention and management campaign at Cheonggye Plaza on Monday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., targeting office workers and residents, the city announced Thursday.
The campaign is designed to let busy workers and residents use their lunch break to check on their health. No advance registration is required — anyone can simply walk up to the venue.
Consultation booths will be operated by the Seoul Metropolitan Government, the Seoul Metabolic Syndrome Management Project Support Group, public health centers from all 25 autonomous districts, the Seoul Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease Prevention and Management Project Support Group, and the National Health Insurance Service's Seoul-Gangwon Province regional headquarters.
Visitors can get their vascular age measured, have their blood pressure checked, receive health consultations, and take part in quizzes on metabolic syndrome awareness and general health information.
Metabolic syndrome is defined as having three or more of five risk factors: abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high triglycerides and low HDL cholesterol. More information on metabolic syndrome management support is available on the city's official website.
"We hope this campaign will give people a chance to start practicing healthier lifestyle habits," said Jo Yeong-chang, director of the Seoul Metropolitan Government's Public Health Bureau.
