Correlation analysis of the risk of ischemic stroke with related risk factors in a health examination population.

OBJECTIVE

To explore the correlation between the risk of ischemic stroke and related risk factors in a health examination population.

METHODS

This was a retrospective study. A total of 300 subjects undergoing health examination in the physical examination center of Baoding NO.1 Central Hospital were selected from January 2023 to December 2023, and divided into the normal group (Group-N) and the risk group according to the criteria of cerebral hemodynamic integral value(CVHI). The risk group was further subdivided into three groups, including the high-risk group(Group-H), the medium-risk population(Group-M), and the low-risk group(Group-L), with 75 subjects in each group. The general data, including BMI, smoking, and the incidence of hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia, were analyzed and compared between the two groups.

RESULTS

Multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted using stroke risk factors as the dependent variables after assignment, and it was found that BMI, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and hyperuricemia were independent risk factors for ischemic stroke (P<0.05); the incidence of obesity and overweight, smoking, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperuricemia were significantly increased in Group-H compared with those in groups M, L, and N, with statistically significant differences(P<0.05). The chi square test showed statistically significant differences in the stroke risk factors among different age groups (P<0.05).

CONCLUSION

The incidence of ischemic stroke risk factors varies among different age groups in the health examination population, and is related to poor lifestyle and underlying diseases.
