Cardiovascular and metabolic disease risk research

Overview

Recent medical research highlights the prevalence and interconnectedness of cardiovascular, metabolic, and kidney (CKM) risk factors across different age groups.

A large-scale study involving over nine million people in South Korea and 7,000 in the United States found that nearly 99 percent of individuals who suffered major cardiovascular events had at least one unmanaged risk factor, such as high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, high blood glucose, or smoking.

Further research focusing on younger populations indicates that 80 percent of young adults, with an average age of 23, exhibit early signs of CKM disease. Experts note that because many of these indicators are asymptomatic, early lifestyle interventions—including healthy eating, regular exercise, and tobacco avoidance—are essential for prevention before conditions progress to established cardiovascular disease.
