Sex- related differences in the factors associated with outcomes among patients with strokes of undetermined source: a hospital-based follow-up study.

: Sex-related differences are well established among stroke patients, including the incidence and prevalence of stroke being higher among men than among women. However, the sex-related factors for differences in the outcomes of strokes of undetermined source (SUSs) have not been well described, especially in the Chinese population. We assessed the sex-related differences in the factors associated with outcomes among patients with SUSs in China.

Longitudinal Change of Perceived Salt Intake and Stroke Risk in a Chinese Population.

Background And Purpose: Data for a relationship between salt intake and stroke have been inconsistent. This inconstancy could be because of the majority of studies evaluated salt intake at a single time point, which may be insufficient to accurately characterize salt intake throughout the observation period.

Methods: Included were 77 605 participants from the Kailuan study.

Probable REM sleep behavior disorder and risk of stroke: A prospective study.

Objective: To examine whether probable REM sleep behavior disorder (pRBD) was associated with increased risk of developing stroke in a community-based cohort.

Methods: The study included 12,003 participants (mean age 54.0 years) of the Kailuan Study, free of stroke, cancer, Parkinson disease, dementia, and head injury at baseline (2012).
