The results showed that cerebrovascular risk factors were more prevalent in case group than in control group. In the case group, FMPF was significantly higher than in control group. There was a significant positive correlation between hypertension and fibrin monomer polymerization velocity (FMPV), hypertension and fibrinogen (Fbg), alcohol consumption and Fbg, but no significant correlation between diabetic mellitus, smoking and FMPF was found. Among the parameters of blood lipids, there were significant positive correlations between total cholesterol (TC) and parameters of FMPF to varying degrees, triglycerides (TG) and FMPV, TG and Fbg. Our results also showed there were significant linear trends between TC and FMPV (P<0. 001), TC and Fbg (P=0. 0087), TG and FMPV/Amax (maximum absorbance)(P=0. 0143) respectively. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that FMPF in case group remained significantly higher than control group after adjustment of all risk factors that were significant in univariate analysis. It was concluded that there is a possible pathophysiological link between FMPF and cerebrovascular risk factors. An elevated FMPF is associated with ischemic cerebrovascular disease and an independent risk factor of this disease. In old people, detection of FMPF might be a useful screening to identify individuals at increased cerebrothrombotic risk.展开更多

Stroke, a type of cerebrovascular disease, caused by sudden loss of blood flow to parts of the brain, is the world’s second-leading cause of death and third-leading cause of disability. It is critical to analyze risk factors to prevent cerebrovascular disease. Data and Methods: The risk factors for cerebrovascular disease were analyzed using data from 2,678,054 medical checkups obtained from the JMDC Claims Database. Logit models were used, and the odds ratio (OR) and confidence interval (CI) were calculated. The sample period was from January 2005 to September 2019. Results: Age and heart disease history were very important nonmodifiable factors. The OR comparing persons aged 70 to those aged 50 was 2.05 with a 95% CI of 1.92 - 2.05. A heart disease history was also an especially important factor (OR 2.29, 95% CI 2.18 - 2.41). Among the modifiable factors, triglyceride level and recent large weight change were very important factors, changing the risk of cerebrovascular disease by about 30%. Other significant modifiable factors were diastolic blood pressure, urine protein, having breakfast, walking ability and smoking;each of these changed the risk of cerebrovascular disease by about 10%. Taking medications to control hypertension, hyperglycemia and hypercholesterolemia respectively increased the risk of cerebrovascular disease. In particular, taking antihypertensive medications nearly doubled the risk (OR 1.93, 95% CI 1.86 - 2.00). Conclusion: It is very important for individuals with risk factors to improve their physical conditions to prevent cerebrovascular disease. Taking medications to control blood pressure, glucose level, and cholesterol might introduce risks for cerebrovascular disease. Since all medications have side effects, it is necessary to carefully manage the use of these medications to minimize the negative side effects. Limitations: The dataset was observatory. There were no experimental interventions. Further, the dataset contains only information of Japanese individuals, and the results might differ in other countries. As the data comprised claims from employment-based health insurance, the dataset includes no subjects aged 76 or over and relatively few aged 70 - 75. We need to analyze data of other countries and elderly people.展开更多

Methods: 263 patients with acute cerebrovascular disease admitted in our hospital from January 2013 to January 2015 were selected as the study objects and their clinical data were analyzed. Results: The incidence of acute cerebrovascular disease was higher in males than in females (1.8:1). The morbidity of acute cerebrovascular disease was higher over 60 years old. The incidence time of acute cerebrovascular disease was 6:00-10:00, and hypertension was the primary risk factor of this disease. Conclusions: The mortality rate of acute cerebrovascular disease was high, and there were many risk factors associated with the disease. The prevention and treatment of acute cerebrovascular disease should be strengthened.展开更多
