主要研究背景及目的

Intracranial atherosclerosis has gained increasing attention due to the high risk of recurrent clinical or subclinical ischemic events, while the relationship between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) measured at a single time point and intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) is inconsistent. This study aims to assess the association between cumulative exposure to increased LDL-C and the prevalence of asymptomatic ICAS.

方法

The Asymptomatic Polyvascular Abnormalities Community study was investigated on the epidemiology of asymptomatic polyvascular abnormalities in Chinese adults. In this study, we included 4,523 participants with LDL-C measured at 3 examinations in 2006, 2008, and 2010. Cumulative exposure to increased LDL-C was calculated as following: LDL-C burden2006 2008 = [(LDL-C2006-1.8) + (LDL-C2008-1.8)]/2 ∗time2006 2008; LDL-C burden = LDL-C burden2006 2008 + LDL-C burden2008 2010. Transcranial doppler ultrasonography was performed in 2010 to detecting the ICAS.

结论

Cumulative exposure to increased LDL-C is concentration-dependently associated with increased prevalence of asymptomatic ICAS, especially in those under the age of 65 y or free of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and hyperlipidemia.

主要结果

Of the 4,347 patients, 13.3% (580/4,347) were diagnosed with ICAS. In univariate analysis, the association between LDL-C burden and ICAS prevalence was significant, the odds ratios (95% confidence interval) from the lowest to the highest quartile were 1 (reference), 1.30 (0.99–1.70), 1.32 (1.01–1.73), and 2.14 (1.66–2.75), respectively (P < 0.05). After adjustment for potential confounding factors, the same result was reached.
