Abstract:Ischemic stroke is characterized by high morbidity, disability and mortality. At present, there is a lack of effective treatment for ischemic stroke, so it is of great significance to reduce the incidence risk of ischemic stroke. Studies show that vitamin C can prevent atherosclerosis, thus reduce the incidence risk of ischemic stroke. However, this point is controversial due to the differences of study population, inconsistent evaluation methods of vitamin C content and the influence of various confounding factors. This paper reviews the related animal experiments, clinical trials and cohort studies, in order to provide reference for subsequent studies on reducing the incidence risk of ischemic stroke.
