Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between KOSHA's cardiovascular disease risk assessment and the predicted lO-year risk of cardiovascular disease developed by Jee. Subjects and Methods: Data were obtained from a structured questionnaire survey and medical examination of 509 male workers aged 30-59 years employed at a wallpaper and floor covering workplace in May 2008. We calculated KOSHA's cardiovascular disease risk assessment and Jee's predicted l0-year risk of cardiovascular disease. A high risk of cardiovascular disease was defined as the upper 10th percentile of Jee's predicted 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease, Statistical analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon rank sum test, Kruskal Wallis test and a logistic regression model. Results: Jee's predicted 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease significantly increased as KOSHA's cardiovascular disease risk increased. Logistic regression analysis indicated that the group with 3 or more cardiovascular disease risk factors according to KOSHA's model was more likely to experience Cardiovascular disease within 10 years(0R=34.4, 95% C.I.=4.4-267.2). Conclusions: KOSHA's cardiovascular disease risk assessment was fairly well associated with Jee's predicted lO-year risk of cardiovascular disease and was believed to be a practical and convenient method of preventing cardiovascular disease at the workplace. 목적: 이 연구는 한국산업안전보건공단의 KOSHA 모형과 Jee's 모형 사이의 관련성을 확인한 후 이를 통해 KOSHA 모형의 활용도를 평가하고자 하였다. 방법: 2008년 5월 일개 제조업 사업장에 종사하는 30-59세 남성 노동자를 대상으로 설문과 건강검진을 실시하여 총 509명을 분석하였다. KOSHA 모형과 Jee's 모형에 따라 대상자의 허혈성심질환 발생위험도를 평가하였으며, 허혈성심질환 발생위험도 점수의 상위 10%를 고위험군으로 정의하였다. 또한 K08HA 모형에 따라 정상군, 저·증등도위험군, 고위험군으로 나누었으며, 두 모형을 비교하기 위해 Wilcoxon rank sum test, Kruskal-Wallis test 및 multiple logistic regression 분석을 시행하였다. 결과: 연구 대상자들의 Jee s 모형에 따른 허혈성심질환 발생위험도는 30대는 0.67%, 40대는 2.23%, 50대는 3.78%이었다. Jee's 모형과 KOSHA 모형에 따른 위험인자의 logistic regression 분석 결과, 3개 이상의 위험인자를 갖고 있는 경우 Jee s 모형에서 10년 이내 허혈성심질환이 발생할 위험도가 크게 증가하였다 (OR=34.4, 95% C.I. =4.4-267.2). 또한 KOSHA 모형의 저·중등도위험군, 고위험군에서 Jee's 모형의 허혈정심질환 발생위험도가 정상군에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 결론: KOSHA 모형은 Jee's 모형과 상당한 관련성을 갖고 있었으며, 사업장에서 KOSHA 모형을 이용하여 신속하고 간편하게 심혈관질환 발병위험도를 평가하여 위험인자에 대한 적극적인 관리를 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Ji-Hyun So,Jung-Kwon Lee,Jin-Young Shin,Wan Park 대한가정의학회 2016 Korean Journal of Family Medicine Vol.37 No.4

Background: Cardiovascular disease is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer survivors. The aim of this study was to investigate the modifiable cardiovascular disease risk factors and 10-year probability of the disease based on the Framingham risk score in cancer survivors, compared with the general population. Methods: A total of 1,225 cancer survivors and 5,196 non-cancer controls who participated in the 2007–2013 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys were enrolled. We assessed modifiable cardiovascular disease risk factors including smoking, body mass index, physical inactivity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and elevated blood glucose level. The 10-year probability of cardiovascular disease was determined by applying the Framingham cardiovascular disease risk equation among cancer survivors and non-cancer controls, ranging from 30 to 74 years old who had no overt cardiovascular diseases. Results: The proportion of subjects who had higher fasting glucose levels, hemoglobin A1c levels, systolic blood pressure, and low density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, and those who had lower high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels was significantly higher in the cancer survivors than in the non-cancer controls. The average 10-year probability of cardiovascular disease among the cancer survivors was higher than that in the non-cancer controls in both men and women. The average 10-year probability of cardiovascular disease in relation to the cancer type was significantly higher in patients with hepatic, colon, lung, breast, and gastric cancer. Conclusion: Cancer survivors have a higher cardiovascular disease risk and 10-year probability of cardiovascular disease than non-cancer controls. Control of cardiovascular disease risk factors and implementation of a well-defined cardiovascular disease prevention program are needed for treating cancer survivors.

이승환,이강우,김은숙,박예리,김헌성,박신애,강미자,안유배,윤건호,차봉연,손호영,권혁상 대한당뇨병학회 2008 Diabetes and Metabolism Journal Vol.32 No.6

Background: Recent studies suggest that serum Cystatin C is both a sensitive marker for renal dysfunction and a predictive marker for cardiovascular diseases. We aimed to evaluate the association between Cystatin C and various biomarkers and to find out its utility in estimating risk for cardiovascular diseases in type 2 diabetic patients. Methods: From June 2006 to March 2008, anthropometric measurements and biochemical studies including biomarkers for risk factors of cardiovascular diseases were done in 520 type 2 diabetic patients. A 10-year risk for coronary heart diseases and stroke was estimated using Framingham risk score and UKPDS risk engine. Results: The independent variables showing statistically significant associations with Cystatin C were age (β = 0.009, P < 0.0001), hemoglobin (β = -0.038, P = 0.0006), serum creatinine (β = 0.719, β < 0.0001), uric acid (β = 0.048, P = 0.0004), log hsCRP (β = 0.035, P = 0.0021) and homocysteine (β = 0.005, P = 0.0228). The levels of microalbuminuria, carotid intima-media thickness, fibrinogen and lipoprotein (a) also correlated with Cystatin C, although the significance was lost after multivariate adjustment. Calculated risk for coronary heart diseases increased in proportion to Cystatin C quartiles: 3.3 ± 0.4, 6.2 ± 0.6, 7.6 ± 0.7, 8.4 ± 0.7% from Framingham risk score (P < 0.0001); 13.1 ± 0.9, 21.2 ± 1.6, 26.1 ± 1.7, 35.4 ± 2.0% from UKPDS risk engine (P < 0.0001) (means ± SE). Conclusions: Cystatin C is significantly correlated with various emerging biomarkers for cardiovascular diseases. It was also in accordance with the calculated risk for cardiovascular diseases. These findings verify Cystatin C as a valuable and useful marker for predicting future cardiovascular diseases in type 2 diabetic patients.

Work-related Cerebro-Cardiovascular Diseases in Korea

Dae-Seong Kim,Seong-Kyu Kang Korean Academy of Medical Science 2010 Journal of Korean medical science Vol.25 No.S

Cerebro-cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of compensable occupational diseases in Korea as in Japan or Taiwan. However, most countries accept only cardiovascular diseases (ischemic heart diseases) as compensable occupational diseases if any, but not cerebrovascular diseases. Korea has a prescribed list of compensable occupational diseases. CVD was not included in the list until 1993. In the early 1990s, a case of cerebral infarction was accepted as occupational disease by the Supreme Court. The decision was based on the concept that workers' compensation system is one of the social security systems. In 1994, the government has established a diagnostic criterion of CVD. The crude rate of compensated cerebrovascular disease decreased by 60.0% from 18.5 in 2003 to 7.4 in 2008 per 100,000 workers, and that of compensated coronary heart disease decreased by 60.5% from 3.8 in 2003 to 1.5 in 2008 per 100,000 workers. The compensated cases of CVD dramatically increased and reached its peak in 2003. Since many preventive activities were performed by the government and employers, the compensated cases have slowly decreased since 2003 and sharply decreased after 2008 when the diagnostic criterion was amended. The strategic approach is needed essentially because CVDs are common, serious and preventable diseases which lead to economic burden.

김윤년,허승호,김권배,신경목,김기식,김경환 啓明大學校 醫科大學 1996 계명의대학술지 Vol.15 No.3

The improvement of nutritional status, the change of life style, and medical progress have changed the pattern of cardiovascular disease. There were many epidemiologic studies on cardiovascular disease in 1970s and 1980s, but rare in recent years in Korea. The purpose of this study was to investigate the recent change of the cardiovascular disease by examining of the echocardiographic diagnosis of these 15 years. Echocardiography data of 23,339 successive cases that were done at Keimyung University Dongsan Hospital, from January 1981 to December 1995 were reviewed and classified into twelve disease group and a normal group. Major findings of this study were as follows: The mean age of patients who received echocardiogram tended to increase by more than 10 years through this period. The frequency of ischemic heart disease, hypertensive heart disease, and arrhythmia had increased throughout the period, and adult congenital heart diseased, valular heart disease, infective endocarditis, pericardial disease were of decreasing tendency in relative frequency of cardiovascular area. Frequency of cardiovascular disease, such as hypertension, ischemic heart disease, was higher in female than in male. The mean ages of each cardiovascular disease group were increasing except ischemic heart disease and cor pulmonale. On consideration of above findings, the detailed epidemiologic study for cardiovascular diseases might be recommented, and now, we should plan for the effective management of ischemic heart disease and hypertensive heart disease that are increasing in these years.

Incidence and Risk Factors of Cardio-Cerebrovascular Disease in Korean Menopausal Women: A Retrospective Observational Study using the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study data

Park Jin-Hee,서은지,배선형 한국간호과학회 2021 Asian Nursing Research Vol.15 No.4

Purpose: Cardio-cerebrovascular diseases constitute the most common and fatal disease among menopausal women. However, the risk of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases in menopausal women compared to men has been underestimated, with insufficient related studies. Therefore, we examined the incidence and risk factors of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases among Korean menopausal women. Methods: A retrospective observational study design with secondary analysis was conducted using data from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study survey. We used the study’s data of 1,197 menopausal women, aged 40e64 years, who did not have cardio-cerebrovascular diseases at baseline and their related data from the biennial follow-ups over 14 years. Cardio-cerebrovascular diseases were defined as hypertension, coronary artery disease, or stroke. The incidence of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases was calculated per person-years, and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models were used to determine the predictors of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases during the follow-up period. Results: Of the 1,197 cases, 264 were early or surgical menopausal women. The overall incidence of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases was 18.75 per 1,000 person-years. Early or surgical menopause (HR = 4.32, p < .001), along with family history of cardiovascular disease (HR = 1.87, p = .024), elevated blood pressure (HR = 1.79, p < .001), abdominal obesity (HR = 1.37, p = .046), or duration of menopause at the same age (HR = 1.01, p = .001), were strong predictors of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to identify and closely monitor women with early or surgical menopause for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases prevention. Also, prevention of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases through blood pressure and abdominal obesity management is vital for menopausal women.

Jongmin Baek,Hokyou Lee,Hyeok-Hee Lee,Ji Eun Heo,So Mi Jemma Cho,Hyeon Chang Kim 대한심장학회 2021 Korean Circulation Journal Vol.51 No.4

Background and Objectives: Understanding the trends in cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality is important for developing burden reduction strategies. Based on the Cause of Death Statistics, we examined the changing patterns of CVD mortality in Korea between 1983 and 2018. Methods: Causes of death were coded according to the International Classification of Disease, 10th revision. Deaths from all diseases of circulatory system (I00-I99) and the following 6 subcategories were analyzed: total heart diseases (I00-I13 and I20-I51), hypertensive heart diseases (I10-I13), ischemic heart diseases (I20-I25), myocardial infarction (I21-I23), heart failure (I50), and cerebrovascular diseases (I60-I69). Crude, age-standardized, and age-stratified rates were calculated to assess temporal trends in CVD mortality. Results: The number of deaths and crude mortality rate for all diseases of circulatory system increased recently mainly due to the population ageing. Specifically, total heart diseases showed increasing trend, whereas cerebrovascular diseases showed decreasing trend. Between 1983 and 2018, age-standardized mortality rates significantly declined for all diseases of circulatory system, total heart diseases, hypertensive heart diseases, and cerebrovascular diseases. Age-standardized mortality rates for ischemic heart diseases and myocardial infarction peaked in the early 2000s then decreased thereafter. However, age-standardized mortality rate for heart failure rapidly increased, especially in recent years. Conclusions: CVD mortality in Korea has remarkably decreased over the last 36 years. However, the recent rise in the absolute number of deaths from heart diseases, especially from heart failure, calls for attention in prevention and management of CVD and its sequelae.

남용옥 ( Yong-ok Nam ),김인자 ( In-ja Kim ) 한국치위생학회(구 한국치위생교육학회) 2018 한국치위생학회지 Vol.18 No.5

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the association between two major oral diseases and cardiovascular diseases. Methods: Data from the 6th Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2013-2015) were used. The study included 12,754 adults, aged ≥19 years, who participated in the questionnaire survey of health related to hypertension, stroke, myocardial infarction, and angina pectoris as well as completed blood tests, anthropometry, and oral examination. Statistical analyses included complex sample frequency, complex sample general linear, complex sample cross-tabulation, and complex sample logistic regression analyses. Results: With respect to the number of Decayed-Missing-Filled-Teeth(DMFT), patients with hypertension (DMFT 8.05), stroke (DMFT 8.66), and angina pectoris (DMFT 8.24) showed a DMFT score of >2, compared with those who did not have these diseases (p<0.05). Patients with hypertension, stroke, myocardial infarction, and angina pectoris presented an approximately 2.7, 3.5, 4, and 3 times higher incidence of periodontal diseases, respectively, than those who did not (p<0.05). Based on the analysis of the relationship between the number of DMFT and cardiovascular diseases, patients with cardiovascular diseases had a risk of 1.033 higher DMFT than those who did not (p<0.05). As per the analysis of the relationship between periodontal diseases and cardiovascular diseases, patients with cardiovascular diseases had a 2.969 higher risk of periodontaldiseasesthanthosewithout them (p<0.05). Conclusions: Two major oral diseases were found to be associated with cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, to prevent these major oral diseases in patients with cardiovascular diseases, oral hygiene management must be actively performed.

심뇌혈관질환과 건강기능식품

조경희,박영민 대한가정의학회 2010 Korean Journal of Family Medicine Vol.31 No.8

Functional foods are becoming increasingly available to consumers worldwide. The health effects of use of functional foods on cardiovascular diseases must be advised. Omega-3 fatty acid can play a role in primary prevention of deaths from coronary heart disease. It has also been reported to be promising treatment for prevention of deaths from cardiovascular diseases particularly in high-risk group. Vitamin E has no primary prevention of cardiovascular disease, but has high possibility of increasing the risk of heart failure and deaths from cardiovascular disease in high-risk group. Vitamin B complex reduces homocysteine, but don't reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Apart from them, gamma linolenic acid, chitosan, soy protein, and red yeast rice may reduce cholesterol levels and the risk of cardiovascular disease, still,further studies are needed. To prevent cardiovascular diseases, it is the most important to main healthy lifestyle habits. Functional foods should only be supplementary. 건강에 대한 관심이 증가하면서 건강기능식품에 대한 수요도 증가하고 있다. 이에 각각의 건강기능식품들이 심뇌혈관질환에 끼치는 영향들을 적절하게 권고해줄 필요가 있다. 오메가-3 지방산은 관상동맥질환에 의한 사망을 감소시키는일차예방 효과가 있으며, 심뇌혈관질환의 고위험군에서도 심뇌혈관질환 사망률 및 총사망률을 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. 비타민 E는 심뇌혈관질환의 일차예방효과가 없었으며, 고위험군에서 심부전 등의 위험 증가 및 사망률 증가를 초래할가능성이 있다. 비타민 B복합체는 혈중 호모시스테인을 감소시키나 심뇌혈관질환을 감소시키지는 못했다. 그 외, 감마리놀렌산, 키토산, 대두단백질, 홍국과 같은 물질들은 콜레스테롤을 낮추고 심뇌혈관질환을 감소시킬 가능성이 있으나 장기적인 연구가 필요한 상태이다. 심뇌혈관질환의 예방을 위해서는 건강한 생활습관을 유지하는 것이 가장 중요하며, 건강기능식품은 단지 보조적으로 사용해야 한다.
