Association of Uncontrolled Hypertension or Diabetes Mellitus With Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events and Mortality in South Korea: Population-Based Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Managing hypertension (HT) and diabetes mellitus (DM) is crucial to preventing cardiovascular diseases. Few studies have investigated the incidence and risk of cardiovascular diseases or mortality in uncontrolled HT or DM in the Asian population. Epidemiological studies of cardiovascular disease should be conducted with continuous consideration of the changing disease risk profiles, lifestyles, and socioeconomic status over time.

Objective

We aimed to examine the association of uncontrolled HT or DM with the incidence of cardiovascular events or deaths from any cause.

Methods

This population-based retrospective study was conducted using data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service-National Health Screening Cohort, including patients aged 40-79 yea
