OR – odds ratio; CI – confidence interval; NIHSS – the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale. Reference for age was <65-years-old. Reference for NI-HSS score was 3. Reference for female sex was male sex. Adjusted for gender, ethnicity, educational background, smoking, heavy drinking, adiposity, and history of disease including heart failure, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, vascular disease, and drug intervention such as antihypertensive agents use, hypoglycemic agents use, lipid-lowering agents use, antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants use.
