What is the prevalence of microalbuminuria and its association with cardiovascular risk factors in the Korean adult population?
What is the prevalence of microalbuminuria and its association with cardiovascular risk factors in the Korean adult population?
Microalbuminuria has a prevalence of 5.2% in the Korean adult population and is closely related to conventional cardiovascular risk factors, suggesting its utility as a risk marker.
May flag higher CV risk in Korean adults; cross-sectional data leave open screening or intervention benefits.
The prevalence of microalbuminuria was found to be 5.2%, and conventional risk factors for cardiovascular diseases are closely related to the presence of microalbuminuria in Korea. Microalbuminuria may be a useful marker to identify individuals with increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
