Abstract:
The risk factors for ischemic stroke in the very old (≥ 80 years) are not exactly the same as other populations (＜ 80 years). Compared to other age groups, the incidence of ischemic stroke in the very old female population is higher, and the traditional risk factors such as atrial fibrillation and hypertension are more common, whereas diabetes, hyperlipidemia, smoking and drinking are less common. It is uncertain that whether heart failure, ischemic heart disease and high creatinine level increase the risk of ischemic stroke. Overall, the effect of traditional risk factors on ischemic stroke in the very old remains to be further studied.
