The relation between cholesterol and haemorrhagic or ischaemic stroke in the Renfrew/Paisley study.

چکیده
Studies have found little association between cholesterol and overall stroke risk, but this could be attributable to diVerent relations for haemorrhagic and ischaemic stroke. Stroke mortality data from prospective studies cannot usually be divided into stroke subtypes. We have therefore analysed stroke based on hospital admissions, obtained by computerised linkage with acute hospital discharges in Scotland for a large prospective cohort study.

Studies reporting inverse associations between height and stroke therefore provide support for the hypothesis that exposures acting in early life are important determinants of risk of stroke. 2 However, few studies have been able to examine the association between height and stroke subty...

متن کاملAggressive statin treatment, very low serum cholesterol levels and haemorrhagic stroke: is there an association?
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To assess the potential association between haemorrhagic stroke and achieving very low serum cholesterol levels with aggressive statin treatment.

متن کاملComparison of risk factors for stroke incidence and stroke mortality in 20 years of follow-up in men and women in the Renfrew/Paisley Study in Scotland.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The aim of this study was to relate risk factors in middle-aged men and women to stroke incidence (defined by having a hospital discharge with a main diagnosis of stroke) and compare this with the associations between risk factors and stroke mortality. METHODS In the early to mid-1970s, when they were 45 to 64 years of age, 7052 men and 8354 women from the Renfrew/Paisl...
