Why the study?
Is high 10-year cardiovascular disease risk associated with impaired health-related quality of life in Korean adults?
Population
10,307 Korean adults aged ≥30 years from the Fifth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey…
Comparison
High 10-year cardiovascular disease risk vs Low 10-year cardiovascular disease risk
Design
Cross-sectional
Key result
A 10-year cardiovascular disease risk of ≥20.0% was an independent predictor of impaired health-related quality of life in both men (OR 1.62) and women (OR 1.46) compared to those with low risk.

Is high 10-year cardiovascular disease risk associated with impaired health-related quality of life in Korean adults?
Effect estimate: OR 1.62 (men), OR 1.46 (women) (95% CI 1.24-2.11 (men), 1.02-2.08 (women))
p-value: p=<0.001 (men), 0.04 (women)
High 10-year cardiovascular disease risk is independently associated with impaired health-related quality of life, particularly affecting mobility, self-care, and usual activities.
Ko et al. (2015) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiovascular disease risk (n=10,307). High 10-year cardiovascular disease risk (≥ 20.0% Framingham risk score) vs. Low 10-year cardiovascular disease risk (< 10.0%) was evaluated on Impaired health-related quality of life (lowest quintile of the EQ-5D index score) (OR 1.62 (men), OR 1.46 (women), 95% CI 1.24-2.11 (men), 1.02-2.08 (women), p=<0.001 (men), 0.04 (women)). A 10-year cardiovascular disease risk of ≥20.0% was an independent predictor of impaired health-related quality of life in both men (OR 1.62) and women (OR 1.46) compared to those with low risk.
