Abstract
Objective To explore different risk factors in different age groups patients with large-artery atherosclerotic cerebral infarction,in order to reduce the rates of cerebral infarction and relapse by taking different means of prevention.Methods One hundred and ninety-two patients with large-artery atherosclerotic cerebral infarction were divided into three groups by age:youth group (46 cases),middle age group (57 cases) and elderly group (89 cases).The study variables included sex,previous medical history (hypertension and diabetes),long-term smoking,long-term alcohol intake and laboratory parameters (triglyceride,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,homocysteine).Results The rates of high triglyceride and long-term smokingin youth group were significantly higher than those in elderly group [ 60.9% (28/46) vs.22.5% (20/89),65.2% (30/46) vs.29.2% (26/89),P < 0.05 ].The rates of male,long-term smoking and long-term alcohol intake in middle age group were significantly higher than those in elderly group [ 80.7% (46/57) vs.59.6% (53/89),57.9% (33/57) vs.29.2% (26/89),47.4% (27/57) vs.15.7% (14/89),P < 0.05 ].The rates of hypertension,diabetes and long-term alcohol intake in middle age group were significantly higher than those in youth group [ 84.2% (48/57) vs.60.9% (28/46),54.4% (31/57 ) vs.26.1% ( 12/46 ),47.4% (27/57) vs.23.9% ( 11/46 ),P < 0.05 ].The rate of high triglyceride in youth group was significantly higher than that in middle age group [60.9%(28/46) vs.29.8%(17/57),P < 0.05 ].The rate of hypertension in elderly group was significantly higher than that in youth group [ 83.1%(74/89) vs.60.9% (28/46),P <0.05].There was no significant difference in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,homocysteine and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the three groups (P >0.05).Conclusions Key point is different for the prevention of large-artery atherosclerosis cerebral infarction of different age paragraph.The youth patient emphasizes the change of lifestyle.Middle age patient has more emphasis on blood pressure,blood glucose control of the risk factors based on the lifestyle change.The key of elderly patient is the control of blood pressure.
