lüll Schlaganfall: Epidemiologie, Risikofaktoren und Genetik Khaw AV; Kessler ChHamostaseologie 2006[Nov]; 26 (4): 287-97Stroke constitutes a major global challenge for health policy and healthcare economics. Reducing stroke burden requires extensive knowledge of risk factors and, if applicable, preventive control. Risk factors may be categorized in non-modifiable biological factors, such as age, gender, race/ethnicity; proatherosclerotic/prothrombotic factors (hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidaemia, other serologic and haemostasis factors); cardiac comorbidity (CAD, CHF, atrial fibrillation); lifestyle factors, which play an increasing role, e.g. smoking, physical inactivity, alcohol consumption. These traditional risk factors are extended by rapidly growing efforts in elucidating genetic backgrounds for stroke. Genetic polymorphisms of functionally or pathophysiologically important proteins are investigated in the setting of case-control-studies for their role as candidate genes. Meta-analyses have corroborated the association of the factor V-Leiden arg506gln, MTHFR-C677T, and ACE-insertion-deletion polymorphisms with stroke. Current population-based, genome-wide linkage analyses face high expectations for identifying new genetic risk factors.|Comorbidity[MESH]|Heart Diseases/epidemiology[MESH]|Hemostasis[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Hypertension/physiopathology[MESH]|Incidence[MESH]|Life Style[MESH]|Risk Factors[MESH]|Stroke/classification/*epidemiology/*genetics[MESH] |
