Impact of annual health check-ups on improvement in hypertension and abnormalities of glucose and lipid metabolism.

ABSTRACT: This study evaluated the 1-year improvement in blood pressure (BP), glucose metabolism (GM), and lipid metabolism (LM) abnormalities detected during health check-ups, and identified factors associated with improvement. This retrospective cohort study used data from a University Health Care Centre between April 2008 and March 2023.
