Comparisons of cardiometabolic biomarkers, lifestyle behaviors, and dietary sodium and potassium intake in a representative sample of Korean adults with and without cardio-cerebrovascular diseases

Conclusion The cardiometabolic condition varied, with hypertensives having a higher prevalence for obesity, high blood pressure, and cholesterol; poorer adherence to the behavioral recommendations was also noted in cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. Such variations in cardiovascular risks would provide implications for addressing vulnerability across groups.
