The decisive role
of health education in schools should be stressed through new social and
behavioural values. Close co-operation between the health and teaching
profession at all levels is needed. Special target groups are: children and
adolescents, the family unit, the under-privileged and other high risk
groups. The mass media should play a major role in health education
programme.
Promotion of dietary restriction, physically active lifestyle and
avoidance of tobacco use beginning from childhood is important for
primordial prevention. All adults should know their blood pressure and blood
cholesterol levels, should not smoke, should monitor their salt and fat
intake and should engage in at least moderate exercise. |
