AB  - OBJECTIVE: To explore the risk factors of middle cerebral artery stenosis (MCAS) 
      in a dynamic manner so as to supply evidence to help prevent cerebral stroke 
      based on the results of epidemiological study. METHODS: 2500 residents were 
      sampled randomly from the residents of Rongqi town and underwent questionnaire 
      survey, physical examination, transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD), and 
      detection of plasma homocysteine (Hcy) in 2002, and 1068 of them that conformed 
      with the criteria: (1) without symptoms of brain ischemia, (2) with temporal 
      window to conduct TCD, and (3) having undergone the questionnaire survey and 
      blood biochemical examination, were enrolled for lone-term study. In 2006 844 of 
      the 1068 residents remained, 277 males and 567 females, aged 60 +/- 10 (12.5 - 
      88) who still conformed to the criteria. Based on the results of TCD examination 
      of MCA the residents were divided into two groups, MCAS group and non-MCAS group. 
      Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the data. RESULTS: The morbidity 
      of MCAS of the asymptomatic residents was 2.73% in 2002 and 4.62% in 2006. 
      Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that history of diabetes mellitus (GM) 
      and hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) were the risk factors of MCAS based on the data 
      of 2002. But, 4 years later, history of hypertensive disease, coronary heart 
      disease (CHD), diabetes mellitus and HHcy were the risk factors and marriage 
      status was also a factor. The changes of coronary heart disease, DM and BMI were 
      the risk factors of MCAS. CONCLUSION: MCAS exists in the asymptomatic residents. 
      History of hypertensive disease, DM, CHD and HHcy are the risk factors of MCAS 
      Heart attack and changes of body weight contributed to MCAS.
