Ji Hye Huh, Kyong Joo Lee, Yun Kyung Cho, Shinje Moon, Yoon Jung Kim, Kyung-Do Han, Jun Goo Kang, Seong Jin Lee, Sung-Hee Ihm
The Korean National Health Insurance Service Database demonstrated that cholecystectomy is an independent risk factor for metabolic syndrome in the general population. Individuals who underwent cholecystectomy exhibited an approximately 21% higher risk of incident metabolic syndrome than those who did not undergo cholecystectomy.
