Figure1. Study overview: Visualizing associations between health checkup data and healthcare costs 3–4 years later

Specific Health Checkup data were linked with National Health Insurance Database (KDB) claims data. Using generalized additive models, the study visualized nonlinear and sex-specific associations between routine health checkup measures and healthcare costs 3–4 years later. HbA1c showed a stronger association with future healthcare costs above approximately 6.0%.
