The Geriatric Screening for Senior Citizen was successfully concluded with the participation of 48 senior citizens. The activity was led by the City Health Office team, headed by Dr. Miravel C. Tangcalagan.

A short program was conducted prior to the screening, featuring a lecture discussion provided by Dr. Teodoro B. Yu, PHO Technical Head and Dr. Gemma A. Simene, DOH - Senior Citizen Program Coordinator on the importance of geriatric screening in promoting healthy aging and the early detection and management of health concerns among older persons. The activity offered a range of health services, including PhilPEN Risk Assessment, Geriatric Screening, Nutrition Counseling, Eye Check-Up, and Medical Consultation for the participating senior citizens.

As part of the activity, ND Karen Jay Langala provided nutrition counseling to participating senior citizens based on their underlying medical conditions. The counseling highlighted the importance of adherence to maintenance medications, regular physical activity, and proper nutrition through the Pinggang Pinoy for the Elderly and 10 Kumainments as key components of healthy aging and disease prevention. Additionally, the event was supported by three Barangay Nutrition Scholars (BNSs), who assisted by taking the participants' weight, height, and mid-upper arm circumference measurements.

With a total of 48 senior citizens served, the activity reflects the continued commitment in promoting the health, well-being, and quality of life of every Tagnipan-on.

This Hypertension Awareness Month, the National Nutrition Council (NNC) encourages the public to know their numbers and adopt healthier eating and lifestyle habits to help maintain normal blood pressure and support overall heart health.
High blood pressure often has no symptoms, but it can lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure if left unmanaged.
Following the Pinggang Pinoy food guide can help individuals achieve balanced meals by consuming Go, Grow, and Glow foods in appropriate portions. Reducing salt intake, eating more fruits and vegetables, drinking enough water, staying physically active, managing stress, and getting enough sleep are likewise important in promoting a healthier lifestyle.
The public is also advised to limit the consumption of high-sodium foods such as instant noodles, chips, canned goods, processed meats, and salty sauces, as excessive sodium intake may contribute to elevated blood pressure.
Regular blood pressure monitoring and making informed nutrition choices are important steps toward preventing hypertension and its complications.
By making healthy food and lifestyle choices every day, we can all contribute to building healthier hearts and healthier communities.
