S-IGF-II and age and sex in the acute phase of ischemic stroke. (A) S-IGF-II levels in the acute phase were inversely correlated with age in the total stroke cohort (n = 492; r = −0.20, p < 0.001). The equation for the relation is s-IGF-II (ng/mL) = 916 − [3.16 × age (years)], valid through 18 to 70 years of age. (B) Boxplots of s-IGF-II in men (n = 315) and women (n = 177) in the acute phase after stroke. Values in the box plots are provided as medians (horizontal lines), 25–75th percentiles (boxes), and ranges (whiskers). Stroke men had lower acute s-IGF-II than stroke women (p < 0.001).
