Sampling a healthy reference population to generate intervals (RIs) for complete blood count (CBC) parameters is not common pediatric and geriatric ages. We established age- sex-specific RIs CBC across pediatric, adult, ages using secondary data, evaluating patterns of changes in parameters.The comprised 804,623 health examinees (66,611 aged 3-17 years; 564,280 18-59 173,732 60-99 years), and, we excluded 22,766 after outlier testing. The (red cell [RBC], white [WBC], platelet parameters)...
Albuminuria is generally known as a sensitive marker of renal and cardiovascular dysfunction. It can be used to help predict the occurrence nephropathy disorders in diabetes. Individuals with prediabetes have tendency develop macrovascular microvascular pathology, resulting an increased risk retinopathy, diseases, chronic diseases. We evaluated clinical value strip test for measuring urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) diabetes.Spot urine samples were obtained from 226 prediabetic 275...
The health burden of chronic liver disease is increasing worldwide. Its main histological consequence fibrosis, and eventually cirrhosis. This process rarely diagnosed at the pre-cirrhotic stage due to it being asymptomatic. Little known about prevalence fibrosis associated risk factors in general population. aims this study were determine distribution using magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), as well with asymptomatic population.This cross-sectional retrospective consecutively selected...
Background A healthy lifestyle is the most important method for managing nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Mac-2-binding protein glycosylated isomer (M2BPGi) has been suggested as a biomarker NAFLD. This study aimed to determine efficacy of personalized interventions on NAFLD remission. Methods single-arm intervention recruited participants with who underwent health checkups at seven health-promotion centers in five South Korean cities. Fatty diagnosis was based ultrasonography (US)....
The reference interval (RI) for a tumor marker may vary between populations, detection systems, and the methods used to obtain their values. aims of this study were establish age- sex-specific RIs following nine common markers validate established in Korean adults: alpha fetoprotein (AFP), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cancer (CA) 19-9, CA15-3, CA125, Human epididymis protein 4 (HE4), total prostate specific antigen, cytokeratin fragment (Cyfra) 21-1, progastrin-releasing peptide (ProGRP).

The prevalence and genotype distribution of Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection vary depending on geographical region the immunity provided by vaccines. This study aimed to clarify recent HPV according age cervical cytology findings in Korea.This included 18,815 health examinees that underwent genotyping tests at 16 centers Korean Association Health Promotion 13 cities Korea, between January 2014 October 2015. was genotyped using multiplex PCR (Anyplex II 28, Seegene, Korea), which detects...
It is a continuation of productivity improvement owing to securing manufacturing competitiveness amid the rapidly changing global business environment, exchange rates, and large fluctuations in raw material prices. In particular, case small medium-sized companies, difficulties such as manpower shortages impact 52 h working hours are increasing. To overcome this, innovation activities were proposed based on FOM system using advanced site data than existing method, method was applied...
Refractive error is caused by refractive changes, resulting from the difference in power according to curved surface of cornea and crystalline lens, axial changes associated with length (AL) such as corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT), vitreous (VCD) [1,2].Many prior studies have reported on correlation between distribution ocular values.Olsen et al. [3] that refraction correlated (CP), AL.Wong [4] VCD was most important determinant adults over 40 years...
Stage B heart failure (HF) is defined as an asymptomatic abnormality of the structure or function. The circulating level N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) elevated in symptomatic patients with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction caused by a structural functional abnormality. This study investigated association NT-proBNP echocardiography-detected cardiac diastolic abnormalities subjects preserved LV systolic function (ejection fraction >50%).We retrospectively studied 652...
Abstract Introduction Previous studies found controversial associations of CBC parameters with pancreatic beta‐cell function (BCF) and insulin resistance (IR). The aim this was to determine the independent BCF IR in prediabetes type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
