title: [A study on risk factors of ischemic stroke].
abstract: In order to investigate risk factors of ischemic stroke, a matched case-control study with two kinds of controls (community controls and hospital controls) was conducted. The multiple conditional logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension, transient ischemic attacks, alcohol consumption and habitual snoring were independent risk factors of ischemic stroke. Physical activity at leisure time was an important protective factor. No independent relationships were found between cigarette smoking, history of mellitus diabetes or heart diseases, stroke history of father or mother and ischemic stroke.
