Abstract: Objective To investigate the relationship between blood uric acid and ischemic stroke in the elderly with hypertension.Methods Totally 100 elderly patients with hypertension were divided into study group (blood uric acid≥417 μmol/L,n=49) and control group (blood uric acid＜417 μmol/L,n=51).The relationship between the level of uric acid and ischemic stroke were analyzed in two groups.Results There were not significant differences in age,body mass index (BMI),smoking and drinking,diabetes(P＞0.05)between the groups,but there were differences in uric acid levels,smoking history,and stroke incidence at admission into hospital(P＜0.05).In study group,uric acid and stroke severity score were significantly related in different times(P＜0.05).After adjusting the related risk factors,logistic multiple regression analysis showed that the odd ratio of ischemic stroke was greater in study group than in control group (β=1.059,OR =2.884,P=0.03).
