Half of those in their 70s who received a national examination last year had metabolic syndrome
Dec 31, 2024
Due to the aging population, the proportion of patients with vaginal diseases among national health examination examiners is increasing, and nearly half of them in their 70s were found to have metabolic syndrome last year.
Maternal patients are those who have been diagnosed with four diseases of high blood pressure, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and pulmonary tuberculosis and receive medication, and those suspected of diseases have the potential to develop various diseases, including these diseases, so they need to be followed up or treated.
According to the National Health Insurance Service's Statistical Yearbook of 2023 Health Examinations released on the 31st, 27.6% of the 17.46 million people who received national general health examinations last year were patients with vaginal diseases, and 32.2% were suspected of the disease. Compared to the previous year, the proportion of patients with vaginal diseases increased by 1.1 percentage points and the proportion of suspected diseases decreased by 0.7 percentage points.
As the number of elderly patients increases, the proportion of patients with diseases increases every year, including 23.8% in 2019, 24.6% in 2020, 25.2% in 2021, and 26.5% in 2022. On the other hand, the normal judgment rate is decreasing every year from 44.1% in 2019, 42.2% in 2020, 41.6% in 2021, and 40.6% in 2022 to 40.2% last year. As the elderly are older, the proportion of patients with vaginal diseases is higher, and in the 80s and 70s, the proportion of patients with vaginal diseases reached 72.0% and 66.9%, respectively.
▲ Abdominal obesity ▲ high blood pressure ▲ high blood sugar ▲ high triglycerideemia ▲ low density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and other risk factors for metabolic syndrome were 69.2% of the subjects. If you have more than three risk factors, it is considered metabolic syndrome, and 22.6% of the examinees corresponded to this. It was 25.3% for men and 19.7% for women. In particular, more than 90% of those in their 70s or older had one or more risk factors, and nearly half of them had metabolic syndrome.
By diagnostic criteria for risk factors for metabolic syndrome, high blood pressure was 45.1%, high blood sugar 40.1%, and abdominal obesity 25.5%.
In cancer screening, 8,554 people were diagnosed with gastric cancer and 2,728 with colon cancer. 7,434 people, 8090, and 5,476 people were suspected of liver, breast, and lung cancer, respectively.
Meanwhile, the general health examination rate last year was 75.9%, an increase of 0.5 percentage points from the previous year. While the cancer screening rate (59.8%) increased by 1.6 percentage points, the infant health screening rate (76.7%) decreased by 4.0 percentage points.
◇ Diagnostic criteria for each risk factor for metabolic syndrome
① (Abdominal obesity) Waist circumference of 90 cm or more for men and 85 cm or more for women
② (High blood pressure) Systolic blood pressure greater than 130 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure greater than 85 mmHg
③ (High blood sugar) 100 mg/dL or more of fasting blood sugar
④ (High triglyceride) triglyceride (triglyceride) 150 mg/dL or more
⑤ (Low HDL cholesterol) HDL cholesterol is less than 40 mg/dL for men and less than 50 mg/dL for women
