Summary: This study indicates that current alcohol drinkers, especially in men, have a higher risk of gastric cancer compared to non-drinkers. The risk of gastric cancer in men is associated with higher alcohol consumption frequency and amount of ethanol intake. Frequent intake of alcohol, even in low quantities, is found to increase the risk of gastric cancer. Further research is needed to explore the detailed relationship between alcohol consumption and gastric cancer risk.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and gastric cancer (GC) in the Korean population. The results showed that participants with MetS had a 26% increased risk of GC. Hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL-cholesterol, and hyperglycemia were independently associated with the risk of GC.

Summary: The study aimed to identify major dietary patterns and their association with dyslipidemia incidence in Korean men and women. Results showed that adherence to prudent and white rice patterns was associated with lower dyslipidemia risk in Korean women, while adherence to a flour-based food and meats pattern was associated with increased risks of dyslipidemia and its components in both Korean men and women.

Summary: A study from the Health Examinees (HEXA) project in Korea identified that adherence to prudent and white rice dietary patterns was associated with lower dyslipidemia risk in Korean women, whereas following a flour-based food and meats pattern was linked to increased risk of dyslipidemia and its components (hypercholesterolemia and hyper-LDL cholesterolemia) in both Korean men and women.

Summary: This study investigated the association between the consumption of dairy products and the risk of type 2 diabetes. It found that higher consumption of dairy products, particularly yogurt and cheese, was associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes in males. In females, the daily consumption of 1 serving of yogurt was associated with an 11% decrease in the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Summary: The study found that low intake of vitamins and high serum levels of heavy metals are associated with an increased risk of MetS, while high curry consumption is associated with a reduced risk of MetS. Increased intake of vitamin B1 and C can lower the risk of MetS, whereas an increase in serum levels of Pb, Hg, and hs-CRP can increase the risk of MetS.

Summary: Evidence suggests that obesity in early adulthood is associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer later in life among the Korean population. Obesity at age 35 was significantly associated with a higher risk of gastric cancer for both men and women. However, no significant associations were found for obesity in late adolescence.

Summary: This study aims to explore the association between egg consumption and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in the adult population. The results show that higher egg consumption is associated with a lower probability of having MetS. However, more well-designed prospective cohort studies are needed due to the limited evidence.

Summary: This study in South Korean adults found an inverse relationship between milk consumption and trends in blood pressure improvement, as well as a decreased risk of hypertension events. Higher milk intake was associated with a lower risk of hypertension and better blood pressure management in both men and women.

Summary: To assess post-vaccination adverse events, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency established the COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Research Committee, which completed research on 15 adverse events using pseudonymized data. The committee also launched the COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Research Center to continue providing scientific evidence and serve as a model for future epidemics.

Summary: This study compared the prevalence of cardiometabolic disorders (CMDs) in Korea and the United States (US). The results showed that the prevalence of CMDs was lower in Korea than the US, but the prevalence of dyslipidemia in Korea exceeded that of the US after 2010. The study suggests that preventive strategies are needed to mitigate the prevalence of CMDs in Korea.
