Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, liver fibrosis and risk of cardiovascular disease: A prospective cohort study.

Background And Aims: In patients with NAFLD, liver fibrosis increases liver-related complications, but there is controversy about the increase in CVD. Based on a prospective cohort study, this study investigated the risk of cardiovascular disease due to liver fibrosis in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).

Methods And Results: This study analyzed KCPS-II prospective cohort that tracked 104,399 people who participated in health check-ups at 18 institutions nationwide from 2004 to 2013.

Prediction of cancer survivors' mortality risk in Korea: a 25-year nationwide prospective cohort study.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the factors affecting cancer survival and develop a mortality prediction model for Korean cancer survivors. Our study identified lifestyle and mortality risk factors and attempted to determine whether health-promoting lifestyles affect mortality.

Methods: Among the 1,637,287 participants in the Korean Cancer Prevention Study (KCPS) cohort, 200,834 cancer survivors who were alive after cancer diagnosis were analyzed.
