Baseline plasma zinc and risk of first stroke in hypertensive patients: A nested case-control study
Stroke — Zhang J, Cao J, Zhang Y, et al. | November 11, 2019
Using a nested case-control design
involving 599 first stroke cases and 599 matched controls, researchers
analyzed the relationship between baseline plasma zinc with the risk of
the first stroke, and examined any possible effect modifiers in
hypertensive patients. The study population was drawn from the China
Stroke Primary Prevention Trial. The investigators noted a significantly
lower risk of first hemorrhagic stroke in patients with plasma zinc ≥
106.9 μg/dL vs those with baseline plasma zinc < 106.9 μg/dL
(median). A significant inverse connection was observed between plasma
zinc and first hemorrhagic stroke in this study population. However, no
significant link was found between plasma zinc and first ischemic
stroke.
