Abstract
Stroke is a global health problem and comprehending its risk factors is important in developing methods and mechanisms for effective disease prevention. This case-control study aims to identify risk factors for stroke in the Thai population, prevent disease in the public health, and enhance the health of Thai people. The volunteers participating in the study were 957 stroke patients and 997 without stroke. The risk of stroke among subjects was calculated as adjusted odds ratios. Age, gender, alcohol consumption, the habit of eating unhealthy food, and lack of physical activity are not significant risk factors for stroke. On the other hand, occupations related to agriculture and non-occupations, having a family history of stroke, high blood pressure, and low levels of High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) were identified as risk factors for stroke. The finding may be utilized in risk prediction and in developing score-based stroke risk assessment.
