Gallbladder polyps occur at significantly different rates between regional populations, with local variation linked to metabolic syndrome and differing alcohol consumption patterns.
Prevalence reached 9.8% in Jeju City compared to 8.9% in Seogwipo City, while metabolic biomarkers including fasting blood glucose were lower in the higher-prevalence group.
Analysis of registry records from 21,734 health screening visits reveals regional variations in dyslipidemia and underscores the need for prospective cohort studies on polyp risk.
