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.
