TLDR
A cohort of participants who participated in health screening programmes provided by the NHIS in the Republic of Korea to offer relevant and useful data for health researchers, especially in the field of non-communicable diseases and health risk factors, and policy-maker.Abstract:
Purpose The National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening Cohort (NHIS-HEALS) is a cohort of participants who participated in health screening programmes provided by the NHIS in the Republic of Korea The NHIS constructed the NHIS-HEALS cohort database in 2015 The purpose of this cohort is to offer relevant and useful data for health researchers, especially in the field of non-communicable diseases and health risk factors, and policy-maker Participants To construct the NHIS-HEALS database, a sample cohort was first selected from the 2002 and 2003 health screening participants, who were aged between 40 and 79 in 2002 and followed up through 2013 This cohort included 514 866 health screening participants who comprised a random selection of 10% of all health screening participants in 2002 and 2003 Findings to date The age-standardised prevalence of anaemia, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, obesity, hypercholesterolaemia and abnormal urine protein were 98%, 82%, 356%, 27%, 142% and 20%, respectively The age-standardised mortality rate for the first 2 years (through 2004) was 4420 per 100 000 person-years, while the rate for 10 years (through 2012) was 8659 per 100 000 person-years The most common cause of death was malignant neoplasm in both sexes (3641 per 100 000 person-years for men, 1283 per 100 000 person-years for women) Future plans This database can be used to study the risk factors of non-communicable diseases and dental health problems, which are important health issues that have not yet been fully investigated The cohort will be maintained and continuously updated by the NHISread more

Statin adherence and risk of all-cause, cancer, and cardiovascular mortality among dyslipidemia patients: A time-dependent analysis.
TL;DR: Findings reveal that relative to good statin adherence, moderate and/poor adherence is associated with increased risks of all-cause, cancer, and cardiovascular mortality.

Cardiovascular risks of periodontitis and oral hygiene indicators in patients with diabetes mellitus
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated periodontitis and poor oral hygiene as independent risk factors for either cerebral or myocardial infarction in the diabetes population, and found that the early identification and intervention of periodontal disease may be effective in reducing cardiovascular complications in the diabetics.

Association of Alzheimer’s Disease with COVID-19 Susceptibility and Severe Complications: A Nationwide Cohort Study
TL;DR: In this article , a 1 : 3 ratio propensity score matching and binary logistic regression analysis were performed to investigate the association between AD and the susceptibility or severe complications (i.e., mechanical ventilation, intensive care unit admission, or death) of COVID-19.

Associations of serum liver enzyme levels and their changes over time with all-cause and cause-specific mortality in the general population: a large-scale national health screening cohort study
TL;DR: The levels of liver enzymes at baseline and over time showed non-linear associations with mortality, and these non-monotonic dose–response associations remained when analyses were stratified by the medians or quartiles of the baseline liver enzyme levels.

TL;DR: The World Health Organization (WHO) adopted a standard based on the average age-structure of those populations to be compared (the world) over the likely period of time that a new standard will be used (some 25-30 years), using the latest UN assessment for 1998 (UN Population Division, 1998) from these estimates, an average world population agestructure was constructed for the period 2000-2025 as discussed by the authors.
