Contemporary Prevalence and Risk Factors of Carotid Artery Stenosis in Asymptomatic Low-Income Chinese Individuals: A Population-based Study.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that the prevalence of CAS remains high in low-income individuals. Male sex, older age, current drinking, diabetes, and high levels of LDL-C, SBP, and FBG increase the risk of CAS. Thus, to prevent cerebrovascular disease and reduce the severe disease-associated burden for low-income individuals, there is a definitive need to control the risk factors of CAS.
