Niveles muy bajos de colesterol LDL podrían incrementar el riesgo de ictus hemorrágico

Lipid levels and the risk of hemorrhagic stroke among women


Abstract

Objective To examine the association between lipid levels and hemorrhagic stroke risk among women.

Methods We performed a prospective cohort study among 27,937 women enrolled in the Women's Health Study with measured total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), as well as triglycerides. Strokes were confirmed by medical record review. We used Cox proportional hazards models to analyze associations between lipid categories and hemorrhagic stroke risk.

Results During a mean of 19.3 years of follow-up, 137 hemorrhagic strokes occurred. Compared to those with LDL-C levels 100–129.9 mg/dL, after multivariable adjustment, those with LDL-C levels

Conclusion LDL-C lower levels to 70 mg/dL and low triglyceride levels were associated with increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke among women.
