It is known to increase the risk of chronic diseases such as cerebrovascular diseases or diabetes in the future. Main test items including blood pressure, blood glucose, cholesterol, and abdominal circumference are available free of charge. Professional health experts (e.g. nurse, exercise prescriber, nutritionist, etc.) provide customized health management services according to the risk factor for healthy lifestyle. In addition, the public health center offers a”Mobile Healthcare Project” and “Sangdang Health 365” through NAVER BAND to provide contactless healthcare services via mobile application due to COVID-19. An official from the public health center said, “metabolic syndrome can be improved if found early and managed on a regular basis. We hope that our center will help many citizens to manage their health.” Those who will visit the metabolic syndrome center can make a reservation via phone call (+82-43-201-3192, 3197). |
