Suwon City announced on the 16th that it is launching the Healthy Suwon 365+ project to extend the healthy lifespan of 1.1 million citizens and create a Suwon where people can live healthy and happy lives up to age 100.
The project is divided into four age-group initiatives: Smart Plus for preschool children, Happy Plus for adolescents, Youth Plus for adults, and Longevity Plus for seniors. The city's health policy division and district health centers will jointly promote the program with focus on each generation.
In the 365+ initiative, the number '3' represents reducing body fat by 3 kilograms and increasing muscle mass by 3 kilograms; '6' means maintaining six age-appropriate health guidelines for each generation; and '5+' signifies extending healthy lifespan by five years.
To reduce body fat by 3 kilograms and increase muscle mass by 3 kilograms, the city will implement various exercise programs including easy aerobics sessions for vitality. The city also plans to conduct six essential health practice campaigns tailored to each generation, operate walking clubs, and implement health walking campaign initiatives. Additionally, the city will cultivate "Health Centenarian Leaders" who will disseminate personal health management expertise through generation-specific health education programs.
Furthermore, the city will create a "Health Centenarian Handbook" to increase citizens' practice rate of healthy lifestyle guidelines and their autonomous health management capabilities. The handbook will enable citizens to record and manage personal health data including blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol, and body composition, while providing customized health information for preschoolers, adolescents, adults, and seniors.
A city official stated, "Through the implementation of the Healthy Suwon 365+ project, we will create an environment where citizens can understand and manage their own health conditions, thereby enhancing the image of a healthy, centenarian Suwon through healthy living."
The city joined the Western Pacific Healthy Cities Alliance and the Republic of Korea Healthy Cities Association in September, and subsequently held a Healthy Cities declaration ceremony in November to announce the beginning of Healthy Cities Suwon.
