Abstract

The role of triglycerides in the risk of ischemic stroke remains controversial. We tested the hypothesis that increased levels of nonfasting triglycerides are associated with ischemic stroke in the general population. Men with a nonfasting triglyceride level 5 mmol/l had a multivariable, adjusted hazard ratio for ischemic stroke of 2.5 (95% confidence interval: 1.3-4.8) compared with men with a nonfasting triglyceride level < 1 mmol/l. The corresponding value in women was 3.8 (1.3-11). We conclude that the level of nonfasting triglycerides is associated with risk of ischemic stroke
