Joint National Committee guidelines attempt to vary treatment recommendations for patients based on considerations of their comorbidities. The aim the present study is estimate age-standardized prevalence common comorbidities among Korean hypertension patients. We analyzed Korea Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2007 2013. Among 58423 participants, 30092 adults, aged ≥30 yrs who completed a health examination interview survey, were selected. survey procedures used weighted odds...
Background Metabolic disorders are established precursors to cardiovascular diseases, yet they can be readily prevented with sustained lifestyle modifications. Objective We assessed the effectiveness of a smartphone-based weight management app on metabolic parameters in adults at high-risk, without physician diagnosis nor pharmacological treatment for syndrome, community setting. Methods In this 3-arm parallel-group, single-blind, randomized controlled trial, we recruited participants aged...
Purpose This study assessed the association of dry eyes with depression and suicidal ideation in a Korean adult population. Methods Data from 16408 participants (6972 men 9436 women) aged ≥ 19 years included fifth Korea National Health Nutrition Examination Survey, conducted 2010–2012, were analyzed. For eyes, surveys previous diagnosis eye disease (DED) by an ophthalmologist experience subjective symptoms separately used. Diagnosis obtained via responses to interviewer-assisted...
Background Occupation influences the risk for developing chronic metabolic diseases. Methods We compared prevalence of MetS by International Standard Classification Occupations using nationally representative data in Korea (KNHANES). enrolled 16,763 workers (9,175 males; 7,588 females) who had measurements National Cholesterol Education Program criteria III and other variables. OR 95%CIs its components were estimated according to occupation multiple logistic regression models. Results The...
The triglyceride to high density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio associated with hypertension in adults. However, whether the TG/HDL-C adolescents predicts future remains unclear. Here, we evaluated prospective association between and early adulthood. Kangwha Study is an ongoing cohort study that has tracked blood pressure of first grade elementary school students since 1986. We followed up 272 participants who completed health examinations at age 16 35 years. excluded 27 adolescent...
Dry eye disease (DED) is an increasingly important public health problem in Korea. Previous studies conducted Korea have reported inconsistent results regarding the protective effects of vitamin D on DED, and these discrepancies may be related to relatively simple questionnaire that has been used. Thus, we evaluated association serum levels with DED using ocular surface index (OSDI).The present study data from participants Study Group for Environmental Eye Disease (2014-2015). This group...
Objectives: Smoking is known to be associated with nephropathy in patients diabetes. The distinct effects of smoking before and after diabetes has been diagnosed, however, are not well characterized. We evaluated the association cigarette a diagnosis presence diabetic nephropathy. Methods: analyzed data from 2011-2013 editions Korea National Health Nutrition Examination Survey. A total 629 male diagnosed were classified as non-smokers (90 patients), former smokers (225 or continuing (314...
We investigated the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between hemoglobin concentration hypertension in a Korean population. Between 2006 2013, we examined 4899 participants with mean age of 56.6 years (range 35–88 years) from rural community. excluded 298 history myocardial infarction or stroke 264 very low levels (men: <13.3 g/dL; women: <11.6 g/dL). Finally, performed analysis on 1629 men 2708 women. Longitudinal were evaluated 654 1099 women, after excluding 2584 people at...

METHODS:The National Health Insurance (NHI) claims database between 2007 2011 used.We iden tified all that included codes from tenth revision International Classification Dis eases beginning with I21 as primary secondary diagnosis.Information about route, ad mission date, discharge whether...
Objectives C-reactive protein (CRP), an inflammatory biomarker, has been widely used as a preclinical marker predictive of morbidity and mortality. Although many studies have reported positive association between CRP mortality, uncertainty still remains about this in various populations, especially rural Korea. Methods A total 23 233 middle-aged participants (8862 men 14 371 women) who were free from cardiovascular disease, cancer, acute inflammation (defined by level ≥10 mg/L) drawn 11...
Objective: To evaluate the association of PR interval, QRS duration, and ST interval with systolic blood pressure (SBP) diastolic (DBP) in a general population Korea. Design Method: We conducted cross-sectional analysis from data Cardiovascular Metabolic diseases Etiology Research Center, an ongoing cohort population. Total 587 men 1065 women were separately analyzed. duration QT was obtained electrocardiogram; calculated by subtracting interval. Resting measured using automatic...
To investigate the influence of offspring-related characteristics on prevalence depressive disorders among cancer patients and those who survived for at least 45 years.Data were obtained from Korean Longitudinal Study Aging (KLoSA). association between offspring disorder survivors, we analyzed data 292 survivors drawn a total subject pool 16,613 individuals baseline.According to our results, odds ratio (OR) subjects with five or more developing was -0.794 (p-value: 0.039, SE: 0.329) compared...
Introduction: Smoking is known to be associated with the risk of nephropathy in patients diabetes. However, effect smoking before or after diagnosis diabetes not well known. Hypothesis: The cigarette and on presence diabetic would different. Methods: We analyzed 2011 - 2013 Korea National Health Nutrition Examination Survey. Total 1,259 subjects diagnosed were classified into 658 non-smokers, 247 smokers who did smoked 354 continued Diabetic was defined as albuminuria (spot urine...
Introduction: Obesity has been an important issue for global health. The use of the smartphone application might contribute to weight loss. However, there is still little evidence effectiveness among people without overt metabolic disorder. Hypothesis: We assessed loss who used with and personal coaching, respect did not any. Methods: A total 129 participants (aged 30-59 years; 63 men; 66 women) were recruited from community-based cohort study in Korea during 2017-18. inclusion criteria as...
Background: Family history is a important risk factor for hypertension (HT), however impacts of parental early onset versus late on offspring’s HT has not been explored yet in Asian countries. Methods and Results: We analyzed 1,524 participants from two Korean prospective cohorts cross-sectional design. Early was defined as before age 55 were categorized according to hypertension(PH) status; “No PH”, “late PH” “early PH”. Logistic regression conducted compare risks parental, maternal...
