NCT ID NCT07673822
First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study examines health data from about 800,000 Korean adults to see how often conditions like obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, chronic kidney disease, and fatty liver occur together. Researchers will analyze national survey and insurance records from 2013 to 2023. No treatments are given—this is an observational study to better understand disease patterns.

- If successful, this study could reveal how often these diseases occur together, helping doctors identify high-risk patients earlier.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study using existing data, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to other populations.

Individuals with less than 1 year of continuous enrollment prior to the index date (to ensure adequate lookback period for disease identification). Secondary Analysis (Subgroup Cohorts) 1. Individuals with missing age or sex information in the NHIS database. 2. Individuals with less than 1 year of continuous NHIS enrollment prior to the cohort entry date (to ensure adequate washout for incident-case ascertainment). 3.
