The Healthy Communities 2030<\/strong> project was postponed in April 2020 due to the covid-19 pandemic. From the SHE Foundation – “la Caixa” Foundation<\/a> we have been working all this time on a proposal adapted to the new reality. We have created the necessary tools to comply with the current measures without losing sight of the objective of the study. We have transformed Healthy Communities<\/strong> into a new hybrid model with the incorporation of online sessions led by experts, along with the face-to-face activities already planned. These will ensure all the necessary safety measures to protect the health of the people who participate.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In September 2021 we will launch Healthy Communities 2030 in Sallent and Cardona. \u00a0<\/strong> SHE Foundation \u2013 \u201cLa Caixa\u201d Foundation<\/cite><\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What is Healthy Communities?<\/strong> This is a scientific study to evaluate the efficacy of a community intervention where special attention is paid to the main risk factors of cardiovascular diseases. 2,300 people from the municipalities of Sallent and Cardona (Bages) will participate in the study with the aim of scientifically validating that the intervention in a community has a positive impact on the lifestyle habits of its citizens. This will improve health and quality of life, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, which is the leading cause of death in the world Step 1: Measurements<\/strong> The starting point of the project will be the measurements of health indicators. We will use the data obtained from 1150 inhabitants of Cardona and 1150 inhabitants of Sallent to establish a comparative evolution. To ensure scientific rigor, we will make a random selection from the census of both municipalities to find people of all age groups. These people will receive a nominal letter inviting them to participate in the project. During the measurements, data will be collected on weight, height, waist circumference, blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, blood glucose, muscle strength, eating habits, physical activity, sleep, smoking and stress level. These measurements will be taken in the communities of both Sallent and Cardona and will be repeated throughout the project, which is expected to last ten years.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
