Background: Little is known regarding health outcomes associated with isolated systolic hypertension (ISH), diastolic (IDH), or and (SDH) among young adults stage 1 hypertension, defined using the 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association blood pressure (BP) guideline. Methods: From a nationwide screening database, we included 6 424 090 participants, aged 20 to 39 years, who were not taking antihypertensive medication at baseline examination in 2003 2007. Participants...
The Korean Society of Hypertension has published the Korea Fact Sheet 2020 to provide an overview magnitude and management status hypertension their recent trends.
Objective We explored clinical implications of the new definition metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) by assessing its prevalence and associated cardiovascular (CVD) risk. Design From nationwide health screening data, we identified 9 775 066 adults aged 20–79 who underwent examination in 2009. Participants were categorised into four mutually exclusive groups: (1) MASLD; (2) MASLD with increased alcohol intake (MetALD); (3) other combined aetiology (the three...
The number of people with heart failure (HF) is increasing worldwide, and the social burden as HF has high mortality morbidity. We aimed to provide updated trends on epidemiology in Korea shape future measures against HF.
Abstract Background The Korea Hypertension Fact Sheet 2023, presented by the Korean Society of Hypertension, offers an overview prevalence and management hypertension, along with recent trends. Methods Data for were derived from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey spanning 1998 to 2021, Insurance Big 2002 2021. Results As hypertension affected 28.0% adults aged 20 older, totaling approximately 12.3 million individuals, 5.3 (43.5%) 65 or older. Among those awareness stood at 74.1%,...
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. To provide an overview temporal trends in burden CVD, Korean Society Cardiology has published Korea Heart Disease Fact Sheet 2020.
The Korean Society of Lipid and Atherosclerosis (KSoLA) has published the Dyslipidemia Fact Sheets in Korea 2020 to provide an overview magnitude management status dyslipidemia their recent trends therein.The were based on analyses adults aged 20 years or older 2007-2018 National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) 2002-2018 Insurance Big Data (NHI-BD).Between 2007 2018, crude prevalence hypercholesterolemia increased from 9.0% 20.7%. During same period, its rate also improved yet...
The Korean Society of Hypertension has published the Korea Fact Sheet 2021 to provide an overview magnitude and management status hypertension their recent trends.The Sheets were based on analyses adults aged 20 years or older 1998-2019 National Health Nutrition Examination Survey 2002-2019 Insurance Big Data.Currently, population average systolic/diastolic blood pressure was 119/76 mmHg in showing little change decade. It is estimated that 28% adult (33% 30 older) have hypertension. number...
The association between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and colorectal cancer (CRC) has been controversial. Using the new consensus-driven definition, we evaluated of metabolic dysfunction-associated (MAFLD) with risk developing CRC.
Abstract Aims Complications of coronary artery disease (CAD) represent the leading cause death among adults globally. This study examined associations and clinical utilities genetic, sociodemographic, lifestyle, risk factors on CAD recurrence. Methods results Data were from 7024 UK Biobank middle-aged with established at enrolment. Cox proportional hazards regressions modelled age enrolment, first diagnosis, sex, cigarette smoking, physical activity, diet, sleep, Townsend Deprivation Index,...
The Korean Society of Hypertension has published the Korea Fact Sheet 2022 to provide an overview magnitude and management status hypertension their recent trends.The Sheets were based on analyses adults aged 20 years or older 1998-2020 National Health Nutrition Examination Survey 2002-2020 Insurance Big Data.As 2020, 29.4% adult population in Korea, about 12.6 million people, have high blood pressure, which 5.0 (40%) are 65 age 1.2 (10%) 80 older. Among those with hypertension, awareness...
This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and status of dyslipidemia management among South Korean adults, as performed by Society Lipid Atherosclerosis under name Dyslipidemia Fact Sheet 2022.We analyzed lipid profiles, age-standardized crude prevalence, hypercholesterolemia dyslipidemia, health behaviors adults aged ≥20 years, using Korea National Health Nutrition Examination Survey data between 2007 2020.In Korea, (total cholesterol ≥240 mg/dL or use a lipid-lowering drug) in 2020...
Background Low socioeconomic status and poor medication adherence are known to be associated with increased morbidity mortality among patients hypertension, but their combined effects have not been studied. We therefore evaluated the joint association of household income death cardiovascular disease in newly treated for hypertension. Methods Results This was a nationwide cohort study using Korean National Health Insurance database. included 1 651 564 individuals, aged 30 80 years,...

Abstract Background and Aims To improve upon the estimation of 10-year cardiovascular disease (CVD) event risk for individuals without prior CVD or diabetes mellitus in Asia-Pacific region by systematic recalibration SCORE2 algorithm. Methods The sex-specific competing risk-adjusted algorithms were systematically recalibrated to reflect incidence observed four regions, defined according country-level World Health Organization age- sex-standardized mortality rates. Using same approach as...
Background and Objectives: Understanding the trends in cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality is important for developing burden reduction strategies.Based on Cause of Death Statistics, we examined changing patterns CVD Korea between 1983 2018.Methods: Causes death were coded according to International Classification Disease, 10th revision.Deaths from all diseases circulatory system (I00-I99) following 6 subcategories analyzed: total heart (I00-I13 I20-I51), hypertensive (I10-I13), ischemic...
Hypertension remains the major cardiovascular disease risk factor globally, but variability in measured blood pressure may result suboptimal management. Whether genetic contributors to elevated complementarily inform assessment is unknown.
Despite the growing recognition of importance hypertension in patients with cancer, little is known about whether high blood pressure (BP) among cancer associated incident heart failure (HF) and other cardiovascular disease (CVD) events what BP levels are linked to these events. We examined association classification on basis 2017 American College Cardiology/American Heart Association guideline risk HF CVD cancer.We studied 33,991 a history breast, colorectal, or stomach (median age, 53...
Protection by mild hypothermia has previously been associated with better mitochondrial preservation and suppression of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway. It is also known that brain may undergo death via extrinsic, or receptor-mediated pathways, such as triggered Fas/FasL. Male Sprague-Dawley rats subjected to 2 h middle cerebral artery occlusion intraischemic (33 degrees C) were assayed for Fas, FasL caspase-8 expression. Ischemia increased but decreased approximately 50-60% at 6 24...
