The impact of potentially modifiable risk factors for stroke in a middle-income area of China: A case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

To reveal the impact of eleven risk factors on stroke and provide estimates of the prevention potential.

Methods

We completed a multicenter case-control study in Jiangxi, China, a middle-income area. Neuroimaging examination was performed in all cases. Controls were stroke-free adults recruited from the community in the case concentration area. Conditional logistic regression and unconditional logistic regression were used for subgroup analysis of stroke type, and other groups (sex, age and urban-rural area), respectively. Odds ratios (ORs) and their population attributable risks (PARs) were calculated, with 95% confidence intervals.

Results

A total of 43,615 participants (11,735 cases and 31,880 controls) were recruited from February to September 2018, of whom w
