Key result
Self-reported data showed high agreement for hypertension (k=0.72) and diabetes (k=0.82), but only moderate agreement (k=0.48) and low sensitivity (46.7%) for hypercholesterolemia.
Cross-Sectional (n=7,270)
Effect estimate: k 0.48
Self-reported data for hypertension and diabetes are relatively accurate among Korean older adults, but self-reported hypercholesterolemia has low sensitivity and should be interpreted with caution.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Self-reported hypercholesterolemia warrants cautious use in older adults; leaves open validation against biomarkers in broader cohorts.
Chun et al. (2015) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia (n=7,270). Self-reported cardiovascular risk factors vs. Clinically measured data was evaluated on Agreement (kappa) between self-reported and measured hypercholesterolemia (k 0.48). Self-reported data showed high agreement for hypertension (k=0.72) and diabetes (k=0.82), but only moderate agreement (k=0.48) and low sensitivity (46.7%) for hypercholesterolemia.
