In the univariate matched analyses,the frequencies of cerebral cysticercosis(p<0.001),arterial hypertension(p<0.001),cardiac disease(p<0. 001),hyperlipidemia(p<0.05),and alcohol abuse(p=0.05)were higher in the stroke patients than in the control patients.After controlling for possible confounding factors,we found that arterial hypertension(p<0.001), cardiac disease(p<0.001),and cerebral cysticercosis(p<0.001)were independent risk factors for stroke.Cerebral cyticercosis should be considered a risk factor for stroke in young and middle-aged individuals. |
