What this trial studies
This observational, prospective cohort study aims to investigate risk factor profiles and health-related behaviors in the Korean population, focusing on cardiovascular diseases and cancer. It will enroll 510,000 participants aged 19 and older who have undergone general health screenings at Ulsan University Hospital. The study will collect baseline information and follow participants for at least 10 years to track the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events and malignancies. By identifying novel risk factors, the study seeks to enhance understanding of these diseases.
