Summary:Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between statin eligibility and the degree of renal dysfunctionusing the Adult Treatment Panel (ATP) III and the American College of Cardiology (ACC)/American Heart Association (AHA)guidelines in Korean adults. Methods: Renal function was assessed in 18,746 participants of the Kangbuk Samsung Health Study from January 2011 to December2012. Subjects were divided into three groups according to estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR): stage 1, eGFR ≥90 mL/min/1.73 m2; stage 2, eGFR 60 to 89 mL/min/1.73 m2; and stages 3 to 5, eGFR
