“…The types of cardiovascular disease in this research are ischemic cardiovascular disease such as angina pectoris and myocardial infarction. In particular, the older people have a high death rate of circulatory system disease, the rate accelerates after age 70 [1][2][3]. One disease of the circulatory system, cardiovascular disease is caused by coronary artery contraction, which can be caused by smoking, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, obesity, advanced age, and family history [4][5][6].…”

Cardiovascular disease is caused by different factors. These factors include innateness factors such as aging, biological factors such as high blood pressure, and environmental factors such as stress. This study examined the factors associated with cardiovascular disease and the ways to reduce its prevalence by analyzing the data within the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Reports from 2013 to 2017, and particularly the survey and examination data for people over 50 years old. The study population was divided into two groups: members of the first group consumed riboflavin and niacin at the recommended rate while those in the second group did not. Riboflavin intake was correlated with hypertension, hyperglycemia, and a low HDL-cholesterol level, whereas niacin intake was correlated with hypertension, hyperglycemia, waist size, and a low HDL-cholesterol level. The combination of niacin and riboflavin intakes was correlated with hypertension, hyperglycemia, waist size, and a low HDL-cholesterol level (P＜0.05). The combined intake of the recommended levels of riboflavin and niacin reduced the average physiological factor abnormality rate to 80%. Taken together, the beneficial effects of riboflavin and niacin can reduce the prevalence of cardiovascular disease.

Serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) has been widely used as a marker of alcohol intake and liver failure. Recently, the relativity between GGT and various diseases has been identified with growing interest. In this study, we examined relativity between GGT value and risk factors of coronary heart diseases among those with normal GGT value, excluding heavy drinkers. Specifically, we compared the differences based on age and gender. Data from the 2011 KNHNES were used (N=3,619). When the subjects were categorized according to quartile based on the serum GGT levels, there was 10∼20, 21∼27, 28∼38, 39∼71 IU/L in men, and 6∼12, 13∼16, 17 ∼22, 23∼42 IU/L in women. The mean of most variables was the highest in the 4 th quartile (Q4), however age and LDL Cholesterol were the highest in the 2 nd quartile (Q2) in men. The FRS and 10-year CHD risk was the highest in the 2 nd quartile in men, and the highest in the 4 th quartile in women. Increased GGT was correspondingly linked with age in women but age was the highest in GGT in the 2 nd quartile in men. In the 70's, the highest Q1 and Q2 was in men and the highest Q3 and Q4 in women. Although GGT value was within the normal range, increased GGT showed correlation with various risk factors. The FRS and 10-year CHD risk showed different patterns according to age and gender along with increased GGT value.
