Da Nang implements program to improve stature, physical strength and population quality

DNO - Implementing the 2025 population and health target program, the Da Nang City Department of Population has just organized 20 training classes on nutrition, sports training and building a healthy lifestyle for students in communes and wards.

The activity aims to contribute to improving the stature, physical strength and quality of the population, in line with the roadmap for implementing strategic targets according to the plan of the City Population Office and Decision No. 582/QD-SYT of the Department of Health .

Master Phung Thi Huong Hanh, Head of the Population Office, spoke at the opening ceremony of the training course.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Master Phung Thi Huong Hanh, Head of the Population Department, emphasized that improving the physical strength of the young generation is an urgent requirement, playing an important role in forming high-quality human resources to meet the development in the new situation.

Each student participating in the training course will become an active communication channel, contributing to spreading a scientific lifestyle in the community.

2025 is the first year that Da Nang has included the target of increasing the average height of young people in the population quality monitoring and assessment system according to the Vietnam Population Strategy to 2030. To have a scientific basis for policy advice, the City Population Department surveyed the current height of 18-year-old youth and implemented a research project on knowledge, behavior, and physical strength of this age group.

The survey results will be an important basis for the city to propose synchronous solutions to improve stature and physical strength in the 2025 - 2030 period.

The content of the training courses focuses on providing scientific knowledge about height development such as: proper nutrition, adequate sleep, regular exercise and a healthy living environment; at the same time, pointing out the risks of negative impacts such as staying up late, lack of exercise, alcohol and tobacco use or an unbalanced diet.

Trainees were informed of the system of guiding documents of the Central and the city related to population work in the new situation, in which the goal by 2030 is to increase the average height of young men to 170cm and women to 160cm.

At the end of the program, many students highly appreciated the practicality and applicability of the knowledge they were equipped with. The series of activities in 2025 is expected to contribute to promoting a healthy and active lifestyle in the community, while supporting the goal of improving population quality, meeting the requirements of building high-quality human resources to serve the city's socio-economic development in the new period.
