All patients were graded according to Framingham risk score of stroke. The male patients with scores≥10 and female ones with scores≥6 were defined high stroke-risk group. The proportion of high stroke-risk group in all patients and the incidences of high-risk factors of stroke (including hypertension, cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, left ventricular ypertrophy, atrial fibrillation and smoking) were calculated.Results The proportion of high stroke-risk group was 52.46% (4813/9174), and the proportion of the male was higher than that of the female [69.99%(2831/4045)vs. 38.64% (1982/5129),P<0.05]. Among the high-risk factors of stroke, the most common one was cerebrovascular diseases (86.72%) and second one was hypertension (59.01%). In all high-risk factors of stroke, the incidence of only smoking was higher in the male, and others were higher in the female.Conclusion The proportion of high stroke-risk patients is higher in Chengdu City, and high-risk factors of stroke are mainly cerebrovascular diseases and hypertension.
