Jowon 2-dong Implements Early Dementia Screening

On the 14th, Jowon 2-dong, Jangan-gu, Suwon City conducted early dementia screening for residents aged 60 and older living in the district.

The early screening, hosted by the Suwon City Geriatric Mental Health Center, was conducted based on research findings showing that dementia incidence rates increase sharply at age 75. The screening included preliminary memory tests and bone density assessments.

Kim, 75, who visited the dong community center early in the morning, said, "I'm delighted that the center came to us to provide screening," and added, "The screening results showed early osteoporosis, so I need to increase my calcium intake and exercise regularly going forward."
