Abstract
To investigate the relative risk of obese factors for stroke and their correlation, we assessed odds ratio of obese factors for stroke by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Correlations among obese factors were estimated by Pearsons correlation test. Study subjects were selected stroke subjects within 1 month after onset and non-stroke referents in Kyung Hee medical center in Seoul. Body mass index, hypertension history, habits of drinking and smoking, waist/hip ratio, total cholesterol and triglyceride were checked once at baseline. In this study, there was no significant difference between referents and stroke subjects in general characteristics except waist/hip ratio and hypertension. By logistic regression, high waist/hip ratio (OR=7.05; 95% Cl, 1.70-29.11) and hypertension (OR=12.90; 95% Cl, 3.63-45.61) had significant odds ratio in female, hypertension (OR=3.36; 95% Cl, 1.01-11.16) did in male. Much more significant correlations among obese factors were found in stroke subjects than referents. In conclusion, waist/hip ratio was an independent risk factor for stroke in female, and hypertension was a predictor of stroke in all gender. Interaction of obese factors could be an important condition for stroke.
