Table 3. Hazard ratios of stroke recurrence for metabolic syndrome and individual components in the model, adjusted for metabolic syndrome and its individual componentsa.
| Stroke recurrence | ||
| Multivariate Adjusted HR | P Value | |
| Metabolic syndrome | 1.46 (0.69–3.10) | 0.33 |
| Elevated waist circumference | 0.99 (0.48–2.05) | 0.98 |
| Elevated TG | 1.01 (0.72–1.41) | 0.96 |
| Low HDL-C | 1.04 (0.75–1.44) | 0.83 |
| Elevated BP | 0.83 (0.57–1.23) | 0.36 |
| Elevated fasting blood glucose | 3.46 (0.69–3.10) | 0.00 |
BP, blood pressure; TG, triglyceride; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HR, hazard ratios; NO, number.
Multivariable models were adjusted for age, sex, smoking behavior, history of atrial fibrillation and coronary heart disease, NIHSS at admission and medication with antihypertensive and hypoglycemic drugs in hospital.
