Abstract:
Objective: To explore the factors influencing the incidence of stroke in an intervention population. Methods: A community based population aged 35 years old or over was cluster sampled from Shanghai Nanhui county. Individuals with at least one risk factor of stroke were selected to receive a cerebral vascular hemodynamic index (CVHI) examination. The patients with CVHI score below 70 were defined as high risk population and they received an intensive intervention based on general intervention for 3 years (1999-2001). The present case control study included 402 stroke cases and 804 controls at high risk of stroke. The differences of CVHI were compared between 2 groups; the relationship between the studied factors and stroke was analyzed by univariate and multivariate Logistic regression. Results: The mean CVHI scores of case and control groups were 31.85±20.01 and 40.41±18.99, respectively (P
