Abstract: Objective To evaluate the relationship among carotid atherosclerosis-cerebral infarction and its risk factors.Methods Color uhtasonography was used in 170 cases of cerebral infarction for the observation of atherosclerosis.Blood lipid,blood glucose and fibrinogen were detected .Results 131 cases (77.1%)were found to form carotid plaques and carotid stenosis was found in 11 cases ( 6.5%) .With carotid artery plaque as dependent variables, gender, age, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia as independent variables , using Logistic regression analysis showed that age (OR 1.352,95%CI: 1.087-1.569), smoking (OR 1.854, 95%CI: 1.362-2.258), diabetes ( OR 2.774,95%CI:1.612-5.956) were independent risk factors may have contributed to the occurrence of plaque.Carotid artery plaque total cholesterol , LDL, glucose, fibrinogen levels were significantly higher than those without plaque group ( P<0.01 ) .Conclusion Closely related to carotid atherosclerotic plaques and cerebral infarction, age, smoking and diabetes occurs carotid atherosclerotic plaque is an independent risk factor .
