However, its impact on lifestyle changes in the Korean population has not been well studied. This study analyzed data from the National Health Insurance Database to evaluate the effect of CR on lifestyle improvement in patients with cardiovascular disease. Methods: Patients who underwent coronary revascularization in 2017 were included. This study investigated whether the lifestyle habits of patients with cardiovascular disease who were physically inactive, obese, and smoked improved after coronary revascularization. To analyze whether CR affected each lifestyle factor, multiple regression analysis was performed, adjusting for socioeconomic and medical conditions as covariates. Results: CR had a significant effect on the acquisition of regular physical activity among physically inactive patients before revascularization (odds ratio [OR]: 1.205, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.046\u20131.389). However, CR did not have a significant impact on smoking cessation in smokers (OR: 1.172, 95% CI: 0.890\u20131.545) and weight reduction in patients with obesity (OR: 1.104, 95% CI: 0.977\u20131.248). Conclusion: This nationwide study showed that CR after coronary revascularization significantly improved physical activity in patients with cardiovascular disease. However, CR had no significant effect on smoking cessation or weight reduction, indicating a need for more comprehensive approaches to address these lifestyle factors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/healthcare12242553","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,18]],"date-time":"2024-12-18T08:56:32Z","timestamp":1734512192000},"page":"2553","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Role of Cardiac Rehabilitation in Promoting Lifestyle Modification Among Cardiovascular Patients: A Nationwide Cohort Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Chul","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Inje University Sanggye Paik Hospital, Seoul 01757, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jung Hwa","family":"Hong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Research and Analysis, National Health Insurance Service Ilsan Hospital, Goyang 10444, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2634-0375","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jang Woo","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, National Health Insurance Service Ilsan Hospital, Goyang 10444, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"CD001800","article-title":"Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation for coronary heart disease","volume":"11","author":"Dibben","year":"2021","journal-title":"Cochrane Database Syst.
