Live Longer Better in Hertfordshire webinars
Empowering Hertfordshire Residents to Live Longer Better. The population of Hertfordshire is ageing, quickly. There are currently just over 211,000 over 65 year-olds in Hertfordshire, which equates to 17.4% of the total population. By 2043, its estimated that this will grow over 23% of the population, meaning we will have more than 75,000 additional over 65s in our local population. As our population ages, it is crucial to address the opportunities, and challenges, that come with an ageing society. Join us for a special Live Longer Better in Hertfordshire webinar in honour of the United Nations’ International Day of Older Persons, celebrated globally on October 1st. This online event marks the official launch of Age Friendly Hertfordshire!

Getting active with hypertension In partnership with Study Active, this webinar will explain what hypertension is and the different stages of hypertension. This will be useful for people living with the condition and professionals who are supporting them including health, social & physical activity professionals. In Hertfordshire, around 1 in 4 adults live with high blood pressure (hypertension), consistent with the national UK average. However, roughly half are unaware of their condition, as hypertension often presents no symptoms. We will look at how exercise can benefit hypertension and the exercise guidelines and considerations. We will also briefly discuss some of the medications that are taken for hypertension and the implications of these on exercise.
