As it was explained by the chief medical officer of the Penza regional centre of preventive medicine Tatyana Batrakova, it was going to be the first event out of a series of seminars for representatives of municipal authorities in the region designed for improving their level of knowledge in this area.

"Teaching a healthy way of life is a complicated systematic process," she noted.

In addition to the main programme, it is also provided that the authorities may undergo an express medical check-up to identify risk factors for chronic non-infectious diseases. Specialists of the regional centre of preventive medicine will measure the level of blood pressure and carbon monoxide in exhaled air, as well as will calculate the body mass index.
