Objective:To analyze and compare the risk factors for hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke and understand the exposure levels in population.Methods:A cohort study of risk factors of stroke was conducted in a rural community in Fengxian District of Shanghai in 2003, and the common risk factors of stroke were investigated at baseline survey, the cerebrovascular hemodynamics indexes were detected, the cerebrovascular function score was calculated according to the unified integral rule, and the incidence of stroke was observed in follow up. The risk factors for hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke were analyzed by cohort study. The risk factors for two subtypes of stroke were compared.Result:A total of 10 565 participants were included in the study, with a mean follow-up period of (11.15±2.26) years, and 103 hemorrhagic stroke cases and 268 ischemic stroke cases were observed during follow-up period. The independent risk factors of hemorrhagic stroke included decreased cerebrovascular function score [hazard ratio ( HR)=1.56, 95% CI: 1.23-1.98], history of alcohol consumption ( HR=2.46, 95% CI: 1.39-4.34), hypertension ( HR=1.75, 95% CI: 1.00-3.07) and older age ( HR=1.07, 95% CI: 1.04-1.10). The independent risk factors of ischemic stroke included decreased cerebrovascular function score ( HR=1.43, 95% CI: 1.25-1.65), smoking history ( HR=1.52, 95% CI: 1.13-2.05), hypertension ( HR=1.51, 95% CI: 1.10-2.07), family history of stroke ( HR=1.89, 95% CI: 1.13-3.15), left ventricular hypertrophy ( HR=1.74, 95% CI: 1.07-2.81) and older age ( HR=1.07, 95% CI: 1.05-1.08). Conclusions:Decreased cerebrovascular function score, hypertension, and older age were common independent risk factors of both types of stroke, alcohol consumption history was an independent risk factor of hemorrhagic stroke, and smoking history, and family history of stroke and left ventricular hypertrophy were independent risk factors of ischemic stroke.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of screening-intervention management program for high risk population of stroke in community.Methods Participants aged≥60 years old in Tairi Community,Fengxian District,Shanghai from May 2019 to July 2022 were selected as screening and intervention objects.The first round of stroke high-risk group screening was conducted in 2019 and 2020 in two years respectively,and the second round of stroke high-risk group screening(re-screening)was conducted in 2021 and 2022 respectively for the 2019 and 2020 screening groups,and the groups who had received stroke high-risk screening in both rounds of screening(overlapping groups)were selected as the observation objects of this study.The cerebrovascular function score was used to screen the high-risk individuals of stroke,75-100 was classified as non-high-risk,<75 were classified as high risk,among which 50-74,25-49,0-24 were light,medium and severe risk,in turn.Baseline and follow-up data were collected for all screening groups,including systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,overweight or obesity,fasting blood glucose,glycated hemoglobin,triglyceride,total cholesterol,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol,and blood uric acid.After the completion of screening,the test report interpretation and first diagnosis intervention were carried out on the screening site,and the screening results were recorded into the health examination file.The first intervention includes lifestyle intervention,risk factor intervention and therapeutic intervention for high-risk individuals.Lifestyle intervention and risk factor intervention were conducted through the distribution of popular science handbook for stroke prevention and individualized face-to-face guidance.Therapeutic intervention for high-risk individuals was guided by anti-platelet aggregation drug therapy,statin therapy,and further examination and treatment of cerebral vessels according to stroke risk assessment results and the incidence of related chronic diseases.Prior to the implementation of the project,the incidence of stroke in the community in 2018 was retrospectively investigated to compare annual changes in stroke screening-intervention.In the process of implementation of intervention management,stroke incidence monitoring of the whole community registered population was carried out,and the monitoring method was to conduct stroke incidence registration once a year,and cooperate with the disease control and community police station to obtain the community stroke incidence monitoring data and death registration information provided by the police station from 2018 to 2022.Results A total of 5 188 subjects who completed both the initial screening and the follow-up screening and met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were identified,of whom 2 269 were male and 2 923 were female.The age of participants ranged from 60 to 93 years at the time of the first round of screening,with a mean age of(68±6)years.The proportions of subjects in the age groups of 60-64,65-69,70-74,and≥75 years were 30.3%,34.7%,21.1%,and 14.0%,respectively.(1)After screening and intervention,the proportion of individuals with increased systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,fasting blood glucose,triglyceride,and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol all decreased(respectively 49.4%vs.57.3%,26.6%vs.28.7%,9.6%vs.10.9%,14.7%vs.17.0%,2.4%vs.3.3%;all P<0.05),but the proportion of individuals with hyperuricemia increased(15.8%vs.13.1%,P<0.01),with statistically significant differences.(2)Before the implementation of the screening-intervention program in 2018,the stroke incidence rate in the community was 332.1/100 000.The stroke incidence rates in the community during the period from 2019 to 2022 after the implementation of the screening-intervention program were 335.0/100 000,270.8/100 000,235.0/100 000,and 193.6/100 000,respectively.The incidence rates of ischemic stroke(x2trend=8.350,P=0.004)and stroke(x2trend=9.910,P=0.002)decreased during the period from 2019 to 2022,while the incidence rate of hemorrhagic stroke did not show a decreasing trend(x2trend=1.636,P=0.201).(3)The median baseline and follow-up cerebrovascular function scores for the 5 188 elderly individuals undergoing residual stroke risk screening were 82.50(52.50,98.75)and 88.5(59.00,100.00),respectively,with stroke risk rates of 39.8%and 35.6%before and after intervention,respectively.After intervention,the follow-up cerebrovascular function scores increased compared to the baseline,and the stroke risk rate decreased.The distribution of stroke risk levels before and after screening-intervention had statistically significant differences(P<0.01).Conclusion Implementing a stroke high-risk population screening-intervention management program for the elderly in the community,combined with health examinations and family doctor team services,can significantly reduce the incidence,high-risk rate,and exposure level of risk factors for stroke in the community.
