To estimate age-, sex- and region-specific associations of blood pressure with cardiovascular diseases.Relative risk estimates 95% confidence intervals were calculated from Cox models, stratified by sex cohort, adjusted for age at on individual participant data 37 cohort studies. Repeat measurements used to adjust regression dilution bias.Studies included in the Asia Pacific Cohort Studies Collaboration Australia, mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea,...
To examine the relation between normal range of serum aminotransferase concentration and mortality from liver disease.Prospective cohort study.Korea Medical Insurance Corporation study with eight years' follow up.94,533 men 47,522 women aged 35-59 years.Mortality diseases according to death certificate.There was a positive association concentration, even within (35-40 IU/l), disease. Compared < 20 IU/l, adjusted relative risks for an aspartate 20-29 IU/l 30-39 were 2.5 (95% confidence...
The Korean Society of Hypertension has published the Korea Fact Sheet 2020 to provide an overview magnitude and management status hypertension their recent trends.
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%,...
To study the association between alcohol consumption and death from coronary heart disease to determine extent which can be explained by high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol level.A cohort involving men enrolled in Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial (MRFIT).Community-based study.Men (n = 11,688) at high risk for developing but without clinical evidence of it. More than 90% were white, average age was 46 years. Five percent abstained during trial, 81% consumed fewer 21 alcoholic...
Few studies have examined the interactive effects of smoking and serum cholesterol level on morbidity mortality from cardiovascular dieseases. In East Asia, where prevalence is among highest in world, ischemic heart disease (IHD) rapidly escalating.To determine whether cigarette an independent risk factor for atherosclerotic (ASCVD) Republic Korea (South Korea), a population that has relatively low levels cholesterol, to modify relationship between ASCVD.Prospective cohort study with...
Objective About half of the world's burden cardiovascular disease is carried by countries in Asia-Pacific region. This study aimed to quantify contribution hypertension diseases (CVD) at country level, calculating sex-specific, population-attributable fractions (PAFs) for fatal ischaemic heart (IHD) and stroke (haemorrhagic ischaemic) World Health Organization Western Pacific South-east Asian regions. Methods The most recent sex-specific prevalence data on were sought. Age-adjusted hazard...
The authors assessed the relationship between exposure to ambient particulate matter and suicide in urban settings during a 1-year period.The association was determined using time-stratified case-crossover approach which subjects served as their own controls. All cases (4,341) 2004 that occurred seven cities Republic of Korea were included. Hourly mean concentrations < or =10 microm aerodynamic diameter (at 106 sites cities) =2.5 13 one city) measured. percent increase risk associated with...
The Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation and Treatment High Blood Pressure defined blood pressure (BP) levels 120 to 139/80 89 mm Hg as prehypertension those ≥ 140/90 hypertension. Hypertension can be divided into 3 categories, isolated diastolic (IDH; systolic BP <140 90 mmHg), (systolic 140 <90 systolic-diastolic hypertension mmHg). Although there is clear evidence that increase risks future vascular events, remains uncertainty about effects...
Background and Objectives: An understanding of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) mortality is important for the development strategies aimed at reducing burden CVD.Thus, we examined changing pattern CVD in Korea over 30 years (1983-2012) by analyzing Cause Death Statistics.Materials Methods: Deaths from circulatory system those five categories were analyzed: total heart diseases, acute rheumatic fever/chronic disease, hypertensive ischemic disease (IHD) atherosclerosis.To assess effects...
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...
This article aims to compare the importance of systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic (DBP), mean arterial (MAP), and pulse (PP) as risk factors for stroke ischemic heart disease assess whether patterns are consistent by age gender. Cox proportional-hazards regression, adjusted cholesterol smoking, was used associations 4 BP indices with The relative individual assessed a hazard ratios 1-SD change in likelihood-ratio chi2 tests. influence >1 index model also estimated. analyses...
Background and Purpose— Smoking increased levels of blood pressure (BP) substantially increase the risk cardiovascular diseases (CVD). If these 2 factors have a synergistic impact on events, lowering BP quitting smoking will contribute more to reducing CVD than would be expected from ignoring their interaction. Methods— Individual participant data were combined 41 cohorts, involving 563 144 participants (82% Asian). During median 6.8 years follow-up, 4344 coronary heart disease (CHD) 5906...
BackgroundMultiple studies have examined the relationship between heart rate and mortality; however, there are discrepancies in results. Our aim was to describe resting (RHR) both major cardiovascular (CV) outcomes, as well all-cause mortality Asia-Pacific region.
Dyslipidemia is a disorder of lipid metabolism, including elevated total cholesterol, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and decreased high (HDL-C). The objective this study was to investigate recent changes in the prevalence dyslipidemia also rates awareness, treatment, control among Korean adults.Dyslipidemia defined according National Cholesterol Education Program-Adult Treatment Panel III as ≥240 mg/dL, LDL-C ≥160 HDL-C <40 triglyceride ≥200 mg/dL. estimated for...
