Abstract

Korea has entered 'super-aged' society in 2025 with the proportion of people 65 years or older exceeding 20% as of the end of the year 2024. The health burden of cardiovascular diseases increases with age, and the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors, such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia, may be linked to increased population-level cardiovascular risk. According to data from 2022, the overall prevalence of obesity reached 38.4%, marking a continued upward trend, based on National Health Insurance medical checkup data. In the combined data of 2021 to 2022, the prevalence of diabetes was 15.5% in Koreans older than 30 years according to the Diabetes Fact Sheet 2024 published by the Korean Diabetes Association, based on data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The prevalence of hypertension in the total population of Korea in 2022 was 30% according to the Korean Hypertension Fact Sheet produced by the Korean Society of Hypertension. Lastly, the prevalence of dyslipidemia in 2022 was 40.9% according to the Dyslipidemia Fact Sheet published by the Korean Society of Lipid and Atherosclerosis. In this article, I would like to review the prevalence and current management of cardiovascular risk factors in Korea according to the fact sheets released by various associations in 2024.

基于事实表2024的韩国成年人心脏代谢危险因素的患病率和现状

到2025年，韩国65岁以上人口的比重将超过20%，进入“超高龄”社会。心血管疾病的健康负担随着年龄的增长而增加，心血管风险因素（如肥胖、高血压、糖尿病和血脂异常）的日益流行可能与人群心血管风险的增加有关。根据国民健康保险体检数据，2022年以来的数据显示，总体肥胖率达到38.4%，呈持续上升趋势。根据韩国糖尿病协会根据韩国国民健康和营养检查调查数据出版的《糖尿病概况2024》，在2021年至2022年的综合数据中，30岁以上韩国人的糖尿病患病率为15.5%。根据韩国高血压学会制作的《韩国高血压情况说明书》，2022年韩国总人口中高血压的患病率为30%。最后，根据韩国脂质与动脉粥样硬化学会发布的血脂异常情况表，2022年血脂异常的患病率为40.9%。在这篇文章中，我想根据2024年各协会发布的情况表来回顾韩国心血管危险因素的患病率和当前管理。
