Author's summary To achieve demographic-specific cardiovascular disease prevention, we illustrated sex- and age-specific 12-year trends in lifestyle and clinical risk factors among Korean adults. Briefly, never smoking increased largely in young men. Ideal physical activity halved. Ideal body mass index decreased more apparently in young and elderly men. Ideal cholesterol decreased concerningly in young adults and more profoundly in men. Ideal blood pressure declined more evidently in men. Ideal glucose decreased comparatively greater and earlier in men. As trajectories of risk factors are largely dependent on genetic and socioenvironmental factors, our results support the need for tailored management across various demographics.
