AI Article Synopsis

  • - The study evaluates how accurately older Korean adults self-report conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia compared to measured medical data.
  • - Analysis of data from over 7,200 individuals revealed that self-reports were most accurate for hypertension and diabetes but only moderately accurate for hypercholesterolemia, with a notable discrepancy in sensitivity rates.
  • - Findings suggest that education level and urban versus rural living may influence how people report their health conditions, highlighting the need for caution when using self-reported data in chronic disease research for older adults.

Article Abstract

Objectives: This study will assess the accuracy of self-reported hypertension, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia among Korean older adults.

Methods: Using data from the fourth Korean National Health Examination and Nutrition Survey (KNHANES IV, 2007-2009), we selected 7,270 individuals aged 50 years and older who participated in both a health examination and a health interview survey. Self-reported prevalence of hypertension (HTN), diabetes mellitus (DM), and hypercholesterolemia was compared with measured data (arterial systolic/diastolic blood pressure, fasting glucose, and total cholesterol).

Results: An agreement between self-reported and measured data was only moderate for hypercholesterolemia (κ, 0.48), even though it was high for HTN (κ, 0.72) and DM (κ, 0. 82). Sensitivity was low in hypercholesterolemia (46.7%), but high in HTN and DM (73% and 79.3%, respectively). Multiple analysis shows that predictors for sensitivity differed by disease. People with less education were more likely to exhibit lower sensitivity to HTN and hypercholesterolemia, and people living in rural areas were less sensitive to DM and hypercholesterolemia.

Conclusion: Caution is needed in interpreting the results of community studies using self-reported data on chronic diseases, especially hypercholesterolemia, among adults aged 50 years and older.
