Article Synopsis
- - The study assessed how well disease data from the Korean Atomic Bomb Survivor Cohort (K-ABC) survey matched with medical records from the NHIS and KCCR databases, focusing on 1,215 participants' lifetime health conditions from 2020 to 2022.
- - Key indicators like sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were analyzed for eleven diseases, with hypertension and cataracts being the most prevalent; many diseases showed strong agreement between survey and records, particularly in older adults.
- - Results indicated high reliability in self-reported health data for major conditions like hypertension and cancer, implying that the survey method for collecting morbidity information is valid across different age groups.
