Sessions on cardiovascular disease prevention took place in the Vinnytsia region

During hot weather, people with cardiovascular conditions and older adults require special care. That’s why the Health Promotion and Disease Prevention team organised information and practical sessions on arterial hypertension in the Tulchyn district.

At these sessions, participants learned:

• What arterial hypertension is and the factors that contribute to its development
• How lifestyle, diet, and stress influence blood pressure levels
• Ways to prevent complications related to high blood pressure

The practical part of the programme included training on measuring blood pressure with a manual blood pressure monitor, individual consultations, and advice on daily blood pressure monitoring and cardiovascular disease prevention.

Participants gained valuable knowledge and motivation to look after their health every day.

The event was held as part of activities in the Vinnytsia region with support from the Danish Red Cross.
