The Blue Zones Approach
藍區的方法
Blue Zones employs a proven solution in collaboration with communities to help people live better and longer lives. The company's work is based on research and principles developed by National Geographic Fellow and New York Times bestselling author Dan Buettner, who identified the cultures of the world – or blue zones – with the healthiest, longest-living populations.
藍區與社區合作，採用經過驗證的解決方案，幫助人們過上更好、更長壽的生活。該公司的工作是基於國家地理學會成員、《紐約時報》暢銷書作者丹·布埃特納所發佈的研究和原則，丹·布埃特納確定了全球健康、壽命最長的人群所在的文化區域，即藍區
The Blue Zones approach focuses on the single largest determinant of health: the place we live. Instead of focusing solely on individual behavior change, Blue Zones helps communities make permanent and semi-permanent changes to policies, systems, streets, surroundings, and social networks so it's easier for residents to eat wisely, move naturally, and connect more with others as they move throughout their day. By improving the Life Radius—the area close to home where most Americans spend 90% of their lives—Blue Zones transformations have been able to move the needle dramatically in improving overall population health and well-being. Participating communities have seen double-digit drops in obesity and smoking rates, economic investment in downtown corridors, grant funding awards to support policies and programs to improve health equity, and measurable savings in healthcare costs.
藍色地區的方法關注健康的最大決定因素:我們居住的地方。藍色地區不僅僅關注個體行爲的改變，還幫助社區對政策、系統、街道、環境和社交網絡進行永久和半永久性的改變，從而讓居民更容易合理飲食、自然運動，並在生活中更多地與其他人聯繫。通過改善「生活範圍」——離家較近的區域，在這裏美國人90%的生活時間都在度過——藍色地區的轉型可以顯著推動整體人口健康和福祉的改善。參與社區肥胖和吸菸率都出現了兩位數的下降，經濟投資了市中心走廊，獲得了資助政策和計劃以改善健康公平並在醫療保健成本上節省了可衡量的費用。
Ben Leedle, CEO of Blue Zones and Co-founder of Blue Zones Project, said: "We are excited to launch Blue Zones Ignite in Cabarrus County with Atrium Health and Cabarrus Health Alliance. By applying the time-tested principles of Blue Zones, we help communities create supportive environments where healthy living is the norm. This leads to healthier and happier residents, employees, and students, which also leads to a more vibrant economy. We are excited to collaborate to create a transformation plan that will generate lasting positive change for everyone."
藍色地區和藍色地區項目的首席執行官Ben Leedle表示:"我們很高興能與Atrium Health和Cabarrus Health Alliance一起在Cabarrus縣啓動藍色地區點燃計劃。通過應用藍色地區經驗豐富的原則，我們幫助社區創造支持性環境，使健康生活成爲常態。這將導致居民、員工和學生更健康、更幸福，進而促進更加充滿活力的經濟。我們很興奮地合作，共同創建一個能爲每個人帶來持久積極變化的轉型計劃。"
The Blue Zones expert team will connect with Cabarrus County leaders and organizations to begin immediate work assessing the strengths, needs, and challenges that residents are facing today. Blue Zones will then create a policy-focused transformation plan that, once implemented, can drive widespread improvements in well-being, reductions in healthcare costs, and improve economic vitality in the region.
藍色地區的專家團隊將與Cabarrus縣的領導和組織聯繫，立即開始評估居民目前所面臨的優勢、需求和挑戰。然後，藍色地區將創建一個以政策爲重點的轉型計劃，一旦實施，就可以在福祉上推動廣泛的改善，降低醫療保健成本，並提高該地區的經濟活力。
