Abstract
Familial concordance of vascular risk factors is well understood and there are many studies about inter-spouse concordance of the risk factors for coronary heart disease. However, there are no studies for inter-spousal relation of the risk factors in cerebrovascular disease patients. We analysed inter-spouse correlation of cerebrovascular risk factors in patients admitted our hospital due to stroke and their spouses. There was statistically significant inter-spouse concordance in the presence of hypertension(p=0.025) and carotid IMT(r=0.479, p=0.001). However, the further age-adjusted analysis revealed no significant result. Differently from the results of previous studie,, the present study shows no significant spousal concordance. Althought there are tendencies of spousal concordance in some risk factors, the age is major determinant.
