Lifetime risk of stroke in young-aged and middle-aged Chinese population

Lifetime risk of stroke in young-aged and middle-aged Chinese population: the Chinese Multi-Provincial Cohort Study

OBJECTIVE Stroke is a major cause of premature death in China. Early prevention of stroke requires a more effective method to differentiate the stroke risk among young-aged and middle-aged individuals than the 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease. This study aimed to establish a lifetime stroke risk model and risk charts for the young-aged and middle-aged population in China. METHODS The Ch...

Depression and risk of stroke in middle aged women.

Relationship between eNOS gene polymorphism and cerebral infarction of young and middle-aged Chinese Han population.

PURPOSE To discuss the relationship between the acute cerebral infarction of differently aged population and the variable number tandem repeat polymorphism of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene. METHODS The genotypes of 129 acute cerebral infarction patients and 100 healthy control subjects were determined by PCR and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). RESULTS In the patie...

Cerebral cysticercosis as a risk factor for stroke in young and middle-aged people.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A probable association between cerebral cysticercosis and susceptibility to stroke, especially among young and middle-aged patients, has been reported. We examined the association between cerebral cysticercosis and stroke and the possible factors causing this association. METHODS In 169 stroke patients (75 males and 94 females) under 65 years of age admitted to our neur...

Physical Activity, Adiposity, and Diabetes Risk in Middle-Aged and Older Chinese Population

OBJECTIVE Physical activity may modify the association of adiposity with type 2 diabetes. We investigated the independent and joint association of adiposity and physical activity with fasting plasma glucose, impaired fasting glucose, and type 2 diabetes in a Chinese population. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Middle-aged and older Chinese (n=28,946, ≥50 years, 72.4%women) from the Guangzhou Bioba...
