To further clarify the relationship between total cholesterol and cancer, which remains unclear.
The burden of premature death and health loss from ESRD is well described. Less known regarding the cardiovascular disease attributable to reduced GFR. We estimated prevalence GFR categories 3, 4, 5 (not on RRT) for 188 countries at six time points 1990 2013. Relative risks outcomes by three were calculated pooled random effects meta-analysis. Results are presented as deaths disability-adjusted life years disease, 5, ESRD. In 2013, was associated with 4% worldwide, or 2.2 million (95%...
The objectives of this study were to develop a coronary heart disease (CHD) risk model among the Korean Heart Study (KHS) population and compare it with Framingham CHD score.A prospective cohort within national insurance system.18 health promotion centres nationwide between 1996 2001 in Korea.268 315 Koreans ages 30 74 years without at baseline.Non-fatal or fatal events 1997 2011. During an 11.6-year median follow-up, 2596 (1903 non-fatal 693 fatal) occurred cohort. optimal was created by...
OBJECTIVE The relationship between impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) or ischemic heart (IHD) varies widely according to sex ethnicity. We evaluated the IFG CVD IHD among Korean men women. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total 408,022 individuals who underwent voluntary private health examinations in 17 centers South Korea were followed for 10 years. Data regarding events obtained from National Health Insurance database. was categorized as grade 1 (fasting...
Both serum uric acid (SUA) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are associated with the risk of cardiovascular disease; however, it is unclear whether SUA independently increases CKD based on longitudinal data. To investigate relationship between levels development, we initiated a 10.2-year prospective cohort study. Data from 14 939 Koreans, 20–84 years age, who completed questionnaire medical examination at Severance Health Promotion Center were evaluated. The outcome interest, CKD, was defined...
Elevated serum γ‐glutamyltransferase (GGT) is a marker of hepatic injury and associated with risk chronic disease. However, the value GGT as biomarker for cancer remains unclear. Therefore, we evaluated association incidence among more than 1.6 million Koreans. We included 1,662,087 Koreans (1,108,121 men 553,966 women aged 20–95 years) who received health insurance from National Health Insurance Service had biennial medical evaluation between 1995 1998. Follow‐up was through December 2012....
Background The American Heart Association recommends focusing on 7 health factors (Life's Simple 7) for primordial prevention of cardiovascular health. However, whether greater adherence to Life's in midlife improves prognosis after myocardial infarction ( MI ) later life is unknown. Methods and Results In 1277 participants who developed during the ARIC (Atherosclerosis Risk Communities) Study follow‐up, a 14‐point score was constructed according status (2 points ideal, 1 point intermediate,...
Aims Systematic reviews report an association between poorer oral health and increased risk of coronary heart disease. This contentious relationship may not be causal but existing studies have been insufficiently well powered comprehensively to examine the role confounding, particularly by cigarette smoking. Accordingly, we sought smoking in generating disease life-long non-smokers. Methods results In Korean Cancer Prevention Study, 975,685 individuals (349,579 women) aged 30–95 years had...
Background Low socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with a higher risk of heart failure (HF). The contribution individual and neighborhood SES to the prognosis quality care for HF reduced ejection fraction not clear yet has important implications. Methods Results We examined 728 participants ARIC (Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities) study (mean age, 78.2 years; 34% Black participants; 46% women) hospitalized (ejection <50%) between 2005 2018. assessed associations education, income,...
The association between low systolic blood pressure (SBP) and vascular disease is unclear, especially in nonclinical populations.We studied 1 235 246 individuals who participated routine medical examinations 1992 1995. hazard ratios (HRs) were adjusted for potential confounders. During 22.7 million person-years of follow-up, 34 816 died atherosclerotic diseases. An increase SBP was directly related to an mortality at above ≈100 mmHg. group with the lowest (<90 mm Hg) had a higher HR from...
Abstract Few studies have comprehensively investigated the association of 2 key kidney disease measures, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR), with cancer incidence. In 8,935 participants at baseline (1996–1998) from Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study, we quantified associations eGFR (based on creatinine cystatin C) ACR risk using Cox regression models adjusted for potential confounders. Due to changing guidelines prostate screening...
