A retrospective study was carried out in a general medicine ward of 100 male patients suffering from their first transient ischemic attack (TIA) in order to evaluate the incidence of different cerebrovascular risk factors. The results were then compared with those from another group of 100 patients suffering from initial cerebral ischemic softening (CIS) in order to identify a cerebrovascular risk population taking into account clinical similarities and common and divergent features. The study revealed that age is the prime risk factor in the genesis of TIA, followed by arterial hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. From a comparison with the group of patients affected by initial CIS it was clear that TIA is typical of senility and is more closer correlated to age than other risk factors; therefore, che TIA population is an expression of those who have "survived" cerebrovascular death due to the lesser exposure to risk factors.
在一个普通内科病房对100例首次发生短暂性脑缺血发作（TIA）的男性患者进行了一项回顾性研究，以评估不同脑血管危险因素的发生率。然后将结果与另一组100例初次发生脑缺血性软化（CIS）的患者的结果进行比较，以便在考虑临床相似性以及共同和不同特征的情况下确定脑血管风险人群。研究表明，年龄是TIA发病的主要危险因素，其次是动脉高血压和高胆固醇血症。与初次发生CIS的患者组相比，很明显TIA是老年病的典型表现，并且与年龄的相关性比其他危险因素更强；因此，TIA人群是那些由于接触危险因素较少而“幸免于”脑血管死亡者的一种表现。
