  Twenty years have passed since the One Health Approach was discussed. The One Health Approach, was advocated to fundamentally protect and maintain the health of people, animals, and the environment. During this period, international discussions on major one-health issues such as the formation of the 4th consultative body among international organizations (World Health Organization, World Organisation for Animal Health, Food and Agriculture Organization, United Nations Environment Programme), antimicrobial resistance, UN General Assembly in 2016, Global Health Security Agenda, etc. Domestically, the Zoological Infectious Disease Countermeasures Committee (2011), the One Health Forum held (2016), and the Operation of the Curriculum for One Health Practitioners of relevant ministries (2022) have been conducted and are considered to have achieved some degree of success. Nevertheless, it is also true that One Health is still a conceptual approach rather than a practical action. Accordingly, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency and related ministries have combined past achievements and limitations. We would like to present the tasks for moving One Health from the “concept” stage to the “action” stage, divided into six strategies.

  This project was carried out to improve the health-related quality of life of the elderly in Namhae-gun and to bridge the health disparity between sub-regions by (pre)frailty prevention and intervention program to the local community. The project included physical activity support through nurturing health leaders for residents, direct customized nutrition supply, disease management through linking local primary medical institutions and health center visit health management projects, and other community resource linkage. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of this project, pre- and post-comparison with the same group; sarcopenia expansion questions, physical function evaluation (grip strength, gait speed, 5-chair stand test), and health-related quality of life tools related to sarcopenia, and nutritional quotient questionnaires for the elderly. The number of people surveyed both before and after was 450 (males were 24.4%, females 75.6%). Compared to before the program, the group with reduced gait speed decreased by 3 6.4% (p<0.001), the group with reduced physical function decreased by 31.6% (p<0.001), and the group with reduced grip strength also decreased by 17.0% (p<0.001). In the nutritional quotient for the elderly, the low and low-middle grades in balance, diverse, and overall domains decreased by 20.6%, 10.2%, and 15.9% in the post-test compared to the pre-test, respectively (p<0.001). The quality of life score related to sarcopenia increased by 2.0 points (p=0.014) in the physical and mental health domain and 19.7 points in the leisure activity domain (p<0.001). Rural areas should promote the health of residents through integrated care through residents must participate and local resources are connected.
