We conducted a cross-sectional study on 160 patients from January to April 2019 at a hemodialysis center. Socio-demographic, clinical, and laboratory parameters and quality of life (QOL) (using KDQOL-SF-v1.3) were assessed. Monthly healthcare costs were extracted from the hospital information system. The means of healthcare cost, HRQOL, and KDQOL were VND 9.4 ± 1.6 million, VND 45.1 ± 21.9 and VND 51.3 ± 13.0, respectively. In the multivariate analysis, the healthcare cost was higher in patients with a longer hemodialysis vintage (regression coefficient (B) 0.74; 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.25; 1.23), comorbidity (B 0.77; 95% CI 0.24; 1.31); and lower in those with a higher hematocrit concentration (B -0.07; 95% CI -0.13; -0.01). Patients that lived in urban areas (B 9.08; 95% CI 2.30; 15.85) had a better HRQOL; those with a comorbidity (B -14.20; 95% CI -21.43; -6.97), and with hypoalbuminemia (B -9.31; 95% CI -16.58; -2.04) had a poorer HRQOL. Patients with a higher level of education (B 5.38~6.29) had a better KDQOL; those with a comorbidity had a poorer KDQOL (B -6.17; 95% CI -10.49; -1.85). In conclusion, a longer hemodialysis vintage, a comorbidity and a lower hematocrit concentration were associated with higher healthcare costs. Patients who lived in urban areas had a better HRQOL and a higher level of education led to a better KDQOL. Patients with a comorbidity had a lower HRQOL and KDQOL. Malnourished patients had a lower HRQOL.The aim of this study was to further examine the relationship between milk intake and stroke mortality among the Japanese population. We used data from the Japan Collaborative Cohort (JACC) Study (total number of participants = 110,585, age range 40-79) to estimate the posterior acceleration factors (AF
