Logistic regression analysis of risk factors for ischemic cerebral stroke / 心血管康复医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore influence of risk factors of ischemic cerebral stroke (ICS)on its onset.Methods:A total of 350 patients diagnosed as ICS were selected as stroke group among 12241 >40 years people from Dongli dis- trict of Harbin city,another 350 >40 years non-ICS people,who were randomly selected from the same district, were enrolled as control group.ICS risk factors were compared between two groups,multi-factor Logistic regres- sion analysis was used to analyze independent risk factors for ICS.Results:(1)There were no significant difference in age,nationality,education,marriage and professions between two groups except food taste (P<0.01); (2) Multifactor Logistic regression analysis indicated that hypertension (OR=5.853,95%CI3.188~10.673),hyper- lipidemia (OR=5.601,95%CI2.378~ 9.635),carotid artery plaque (OR=4.963,95%CI2.350~9.843), heart disease (OR=4.568,95%CI2.535~7.745),hyperhomocysteinemia (OR=4.076,95%CI3.001~8.270), apparent overweight (OR=3.421,95%CI1.598~6.476)and family history of cerebrovascular diseases (OR=3.065,95%CI2.543~4.236)were independent risk factors for ICS in both groups (P<0.01 all).According to OR value from big to small,risk factors for ICS were hypertension,hyperlipidemia,carotid artery plaque,heart disease,hyperhomocysteinemia,apparent weight and family history of cerebrovascular diseases respectively.Conclu-sionBesides traditional risk factors like hypertension,dyslipidemia and family history of cerebrovascular diseases, other risk factors such as carotid artery plaque,heart disease,family history of cerebrovascular disease and apparent overweight are also important risk factors for stroke.
