Key result
Higher serum albumin is linked to ~98% lower stroke risk in adults over 40.
Why the study?
The relationship between serum albumin levels and stroke risk in adults over 40 years was not well established.
Are serum albumin levels associated with the risk of stroke in adults over 40 years of age?
Cross-Sectional (n=17,303)
Are serum albumin levels associated with the risk of stroke in adults over 40 years of age?
Odds Ratio: 0.02 (95% CI 0–0.18)
p-value: p=0.0003
Lower serum albumin levels are significantly associated with an increased risk of stroke in adults over 40 years of age.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Association warrants no practice change; leaves open whether albumin modification affects stroke incidence in adults ≥40.
Wang et al. (2023) conducted a cross-sectional in Stroke (n=17,303). Serum albumin levels was evaluated on Stroke (OR 0.02, 95% CI 0.00-0.18, p=0.0003). Higher serum albumin levels were significantly and inversely associated with the risk of stroke in adults aged 40 and older (OR 0.02; 95% CI 0.00-0.18; P=0.0003).
