Table 9. Population attributable risks of presumed etiological factors for ischemic stroke.
Etiological Factor | PAR (95% CI)a (n/N = 610/6,844) |
Hypertension | 0.33 (0.20–0.49) |
Smoking | 0.16 (0.08–0.30) |
Diabetes mellitus | 0.03 (0.01–0.08) |
Atrial fibrillation | 0.00 (0.00–0.16) |
Coronary disease | 0.03 (0.01–0.08) |
Overweight/obesity | 0.12 (0.05–0.27) |
TC/HDL ratio | 0.03 (0.00–0.82) |
Total | 0.55 (0.41–0.68) |
All analyses are adjusted for age, sex, hypertension, smoking, diabetes mellitus, atrial fibrillation, coronary disease, TC/HDL ratio, and overweight/obesity, if appropriate. Category boundaries for quartiles of TC/HDL ratio were 4.38, 5.30, and 6.42 for men and 3.94, 4.78, and 5.82 for women.
