Lipid Accumulation Product and Hypertension Related to Stroke: a 9.2-Year Prospective Study Among Mongolians in China.

CONCLUSIONS: The present study showed that high LAP was associated with an increased risk of future stroke, and hypertensives with high LAP had the highest risk of stroke among Inner Mongolians. These findings indicate that LAP and hypertension may be valuable to predict and prevent stroke incidence. PMID: 26797267 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
