Abstract:
Objective To investigate the characteristics of cerebral vascular imaging and risk factors of stroke in popu?lation with family history of stroke in rural areas of Ji County, Tianjin. Methods The volunteers with family history of stroke were recruited in the study to undergo computed tomography and computed tomography angiography (CTA) of head as well as physical and laboratory examinations. A total of 281 subjects, including 153 male and 128 female, underwent exami?nation, and were divided into stroke group and non-stroke group. Results The detection rates were significantly higher in male subjects than those of female subjects, including smoking rate, drinking rate, educational level, and decreased level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), whereas the detection rate of high level of triacylglycerol (TG) was significant?ly higher in female than that of male subjects (P<0.05). There were 38 subjects in stroke group. The age, internal carotid ar?tery calcification rate (ICAC) and internal carotid artery tortuosity (ICAT) rate were significantly higher in stroke group than those of non-stroke group (P<0.05) . The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that age, hyperten?sion, ICAC, and ICAT were independent risk factors for stroke. Conclusion For population with family history of stroke, age, hypertension, ICAC and ICAT were risk factors of stroke.
