Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the relationship between lifestyle factors and stroke in the elderly.Methods:Data were obtained from a natural cohort of the Multimodal Intervention to Delay Dementia and Disability in Rural China(MIND-China)study.A total of 5 009 participants aged 60 years and above were enrolled, of whom 954(19.05%)had experienced a stroke.Logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess the association between five lifestyle factors(smoking, drinking, physical exercise, social activity and sleep quality)and the incidence of stroke.Results:In model 1, after adjusting for age, sex and education, only social activity( OR=0.783, 95% CI: 0.668-0.917)and good sleep quality( OR=0.731, 95% CI: 0.621-0.860)emerged as protective factors against stroke(both P<0.05).No statistically significant associations were found between other lifestyle factors and stroke.Analysis of a variety of healthy lifestyle practice combinations showed that having 3( OR=0.639, 95% CI: 0.433-0.944), 4( OR=0.620, 95% CI: 0.409-0.941)and 5( OR=0.397, 95% CI: 0.197-0.799)healthy lifestyle practices were protective factors against stroke(all P<0.05).In model 2, after adjusting for age, sex, education, body mass index, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and the APOE genotype, the results were consistent with those of Model 1. Conclusions:Lifestyle factors are significantly associated with the risk of stroke in the elderly population.The healthier lifestyle practices are adopted, the lower the risk of stroke will be.
