TL;DR: Lee et al. as discussed by the authors examined the association between total cholesterol and site-specific and all-cancer incidence among 1,189,719 Korean adults who underwent a standardized biennial medical examination in 1992 to 1995 and were observed for 14 years until cancer diagnosis or death.

TL;DR: It was found that total cholesterol was associated with the risk of several different cancers, although these relationships differed markedly by cancer site.

TL;DR: By 2013, cardiovascular deaths attributed to reduced G FR outnumbered ESRD deaths throughout the world, and reduced GFR ranked below high systolic BP, high body mass index, and high fasting plasma glucose as a risk factor for disability-adjusted life years in both developed and developing world regions.

TL;DR: The Korean CHD risk model is well-calculated alternations which can be used to predict an individual's risk of CHD and provides a useful guide to identify the groups at high risk for CHD among Koreans.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a coronary heart disease (CHD) risk model among the Korean Heart Study (KHS) population and compared it with the Framingham CHD risk score.
