Conflicting results have been reported on the association between lipids and risk of ischemic stroke. We tested the hypothesis that the burden of ischemic stroke attributable to either elevated apolipoprotein B (apoB) or non-high-density lipoprotein (non-HDL) cholesterol is higher than that attributable to elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.
We included 104,618 individuals from an ongoing cohort study, the Copenhagen General Population Study. The associations of quintiles of apoB, non-HDL cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol with risk of ischemic stroke were estimated by Cox proportional hazards regressions with 95% confidence intervals. With 1 quintile as reference, the proportion of ischemic stroke attributable to the 2 , 3 , 4 , and 5 quintiles of apoB, non-HDL cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol were estimated by population attributable fractions.
Higher quintiles of apoB and non-HDL cholesterol were associated with increased risk of ischemic stroke (both trends: p < 0.0001), whereas for LDL cholesterol this association was somewhat attenuated (trend: p = 0.0005). A similar pattern was seen for population attributable fraction values. Compared to individuals in the 1 quintile, the combined proportion of ischemic stroke attributable to individuals in the 2 to 5 quintiles was 16.3% for apoB (levels >82 mg/dL), 14.7% for non-HDL cholesterol (>3.0 mmol/L; >117 mg/dL), and 6.8% for LDL cholesterol (>2.4 mmol/L; >94 mg/dL).
The proportion of ischemic stroke attributable to either elevated apoB or non-HDL cholesterol was double that attributable to elevated LDL cholesterol. ANN NEUROL 2022;92:379-389.
关于脂质与缺血性脑卒中风险之间的关系,已有相互矛盾的研究结果。我们检验了这样一个假设,即归因于载脂蛋白 B(apoB)或非高密度脂蛋白(non-HDL)胆固醇升高的缺血性脑卒中负担高于归因于低密度脂蛋白(LDL)胆固醇升高的负担。
我们纳入了正在进行的队列研究——哥本哈根普通人群研究中的 104618 名个体。采用 Cox 比例风险回归模型估计 apoB、非 HDL 胆固醇和 LDL 胆固醇五分位数与缺血性脑卒中风险的关联,置信区间为 95%。以 1 个五分位数为参照,通过人群归因分数估计 apoB、非 HDL 胆固醇和 LDL 胆固醇的 2、3、4 和 5 个五分位数与缺血性脑卒中的归因比例。
apoB 和非 HDL 胆固醇的五分位越高,缺血性脑卒中的风险越高(均呈趋势性,p<0.0001),而 LDL 胆固醇的这种相关性则有所减弱(趋势性,p=0.0005)。人群归因分数也呈现出类似的模式。与 1 个五分位数的个体相比,apoB(水平>82mg/dL)的 2 至 5 个五分位数的个体中,归因于缺血性脑卒中的综合比例为 16.3%,非 HDL 胆固醇(>3.0mmol/L;>117mg/dL)为 14.7%,LDL 胆固醇(>2.4mmol/L;>94mg/dL)为 6.8%。
归因于 apoB 或非 HDL 胆固醇升高的缺血性脑卒中比例是归因于 LDL 胆固醇升高的两倍。
