Gender difference in the relationship between anemia and vitamin D in Korean adults: the fifth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

This study was conducted to assess the relationship between vitamin D deficiency and anemia, by gender, in Korean adults. The data of 16,060 adults were analyzed (men, 6,840; premenopausal women, 4,916; postmenopausal women, 4,340) from the fifth Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES V) (2010-2012). There were several key findings.

Gender difference in the relationship between lipid accumulation product index and pulse pressure in nondiabetic Korean adults: The Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2013-2014.

The present study was conducted to assess the association between the lipid accumulation product index (LAP) and pulse pressure (PP) by gender in nondiabetic Korean adults. This study used the data of 8,240 nondiabetic adults (3,577 men and 4,663 women) aged ≥ 20 years from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2013-2014. Key findings from the study were as follows: first, the mean values of age for the overall population, men, and women were 49.

Gender Difference in the Relationship Between Pulse Pressure and Visceral Adiposity Index in Korean Adults.

This study was conducted to assess the association of pulse pressure (PP) and visceral adiposity index (VAI) by gender in Korean adults. This study used the data of 4960 adults at age ≥20 years, from the 2015 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. In the overall population ( = 4960), after adjustment for related variables and with quartile 1 of VAI as a reference, the odds ratios of high PP (PP >60 mmHg) was significantly higher in quartile 3 [1.

The association of the visceral adiposity index with insulin resistance and beta-cell function in Korean adults with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus.

This study was conducted to assess the association of the visceral adiposity index (VAI) with insulin resistance and beta cell function in Korean adults with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus. The study was carried out using data from the 2015 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES VI-3) and included 4,922 adults, aged 20 or older. There were several key findings in the present study.

The relationship between estimated glomerular filtration rate and urine m/creatinine ratio and parathyroid hormone in elderly Koreans.

This study aimed to assess the relationship between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urine microalbumin/creatinine ratio (uACR), and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in elderly Korean men and women. Data were analyzed from 2880 adults (1262 men and 1618 women) aged ≥ 50 years from the Fifth Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey V-2 (KNHANES V-2). In men, after adjusting for related variables, the odds ratios (ORs) of the high PTH levels (PTH > 78.

Aims: The present study was conducted to assess the association of pulse pressure (PP) with insulin resistance and beta cell function in Korean non-diabetic populations.

Methods: This study used the data from the 2015 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey including 4380 adults, aged 20 or older.

Results: A multivariate analysis revealed that systolic blood pressure (SBP) (β=0.
