Association of lipids with ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke: A prospective cohort study among 267,500 Chinese
Stroke Nov 13, 2019
Gu X, Li Y, Chen S, et al. - In the present study, the researchers analyzed the relationship of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C ), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and triglyceride with stroke through involving six cohort studies in China with 267,500 candidates. The authors discovered that the median duration of follow-up varied from 6 to 19 years. Eight thousand seventy-two people developed stroke during 2,295,881 person-years. Findings suggested a positive correlation of TC, LDL-C, and triglyceride with ischemic stroke. They observed that hemorrhagic stroke risk was higher when TC was lower than 120 mg/dL. There was no connection between LDL-C and triglyceride with hemorrhagic stroke. When HDL-C was less than 50 mg/dL, the chances of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke may be higher.
