| Research Abstract |
We evaluated the relationship between clustering of cardiovascular risk factors (obesity, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and current smoking) and medical expenditures using data of 4,481 Japanese National Health Insurance beneficiaries. As a result, mean medical expenditure was higher in participants who had 3 or more risk factors than participants who had no risk factor. In this cohort, 20.2% of total medical expenditures were attributable to participants who had one or more risk factors.
