Hwaseong City Reports 2% Reduction in Cardiovascular Disease Risk

The Chronic Disease Management Center in Hwaseong City announced on the 13th that the risk of cardiovascular disease in the city has decreased by an average of 2%.

The Chronic Disease Management Center at the Dongtan Health Clinic evaluated the Framingham risk index (10-year cardiovascular disease incidence risk) for approximately 260 individuals who completed various programs including exercise guidance, nutritional guidance, and health education. As a result, the risk of cardiovascular disease incidence decreased by an average of 2%.

The management center attributed the results to providing customized services for chronic disease patients in the four major categories (hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and obesity) over a 13-week period, including scientifically prescribed exercise and nutritional prescription systems tailored to individuals.

The management center explained that the results were achieved by utilizing ubiquitous IT technology to store and manage individual treatment and exercise history on electronic cards, enabling rapid information analysis and prescription for patients.
