This day was not only made for movement, it also aimed to reduce cardiovascular diseases, responsible for nearly 150,000 deaths per year in France. All day long, it was possible to ask questions about blood donation, organ donation thanks to the “Cercle Bleu” association or about cardiovascular diseases. The Pau Béarn Heart Health Club, the League against cancer and loss of autonomy as well as a doctor answered participants’ questions. An animation, with simulation of loss of autonomy, as well as advice for caregivers were offered by the “Prevoir Assureur solution vie” group.
