[An investigation on risk factors of cerebral arteriosclerosis].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the risk factors of cerebral arteriosclerosis (CAS) in the special population--the old cadre in organizations affiliated directly under Fujian Province.


METHODS
The investigation was carried out according to the case control method of epidemiology and conditional logistic regression model was used.


RESULTS
Multivariate analysis showed that CAS was closely related with the clinostatic systolic blood pressure (CSBP, OR: 2.13), triglyceride (TG, OR: 2.08), diabetes mellitus (OR: 1.31), glycosylated hemoglobin (OR: 1.16), recall of portrait characteristic (OR: 0.89), Kidney-Deficiency Syndrome (OR: 1.54) and Yin-Deficiency with Yang-Excess Syndrome (OR: 1.59). And there was a quantity-effect relationship between CSBP, TG and CAS.


CONCLUSIONS
CSBP is the most important risk factor of CAS in the special population of the old cadre, and the TCM Syndromes of Kidney-Deficiency and Yin-Deficiency with Yang-Excess are also independent risk factors of CAS.
