Abstract:Background: Objective: our study was to observe the risk factors in different age group of patients with ischemic stroke. Methods: A total of 120 patients of ischemic stroke were considered on the basis of detail clinical history, laboratory findings and CT Scan/MRI. Results: Data was analyzed by using MS-Office software. Conclusion: Major risk factors associated with ischemic stroke was hypertension, smoking, alcohol consumption, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia and obesity.
“…1 There are many modifiable and nonmodifiable stroke risk factors including hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and ethnicity. 2 Many of these risk factors are shared between stroke and other diseases like coronary artery disease, chronic kidney disease, and peripheral artery disease. 3 Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 10-15% of the general population.…”
Abnormal kidney function doubled the risk of one-year mortality post stroke in our cohort. High-risk groups, including older hypertensive men, could be targeted for aggressive moni-toring and early treatment of risk factors.
