Accelerated biological aging increases the risk of short- and long-term stroke prognosis in patients with ischemic stroke or TIA.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Biological age (BA), an integrated measure of physiological aging, has a clear link to stroke. There is a paucity of long-term longitudinal studies about the association between accelerated biological age and stroke prognosis in patients with previous strokes, and the differences in the predictive ability of various BA indicators calculated from clinical biochemistry biomarkers for future stroke outcomes are still unknown. To evaluate the role of three accelerated BA indicators for short- and long-term prognosis of patients with ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), and to identify the most appropriate predictor.

Methods

This study included 7396 patients from the Third China National Stroke Registry (CNSR-III), a prospective national registry of pati
