World Heart Day is celebrated on the last Sunday in September every year.
In Japan, World Heart Day's events are held on this day every year.

We wore T-shirts with “World Heart Day” logo, and distributed tape measures for the measuring waist circumferences in these events.
We hope to increase awareness of World Heart Day and the risk of metabolic syndromes.
