ABSTRACT
Background:
Taste and olfactory dysfunction are commonly associated with neurodegenerative diseases and cardiovascular risk factors, but their specific associations with stroke risk remain uncertain.Objectives:
The purpose of this paper was to explore whether perceived taste and olfactory dysfunctions were associated with stroke risk.Methods:
Included were 85,656 participants (mean age 51.0 ± 15.3 years) of the Kailuan study. Perceived olfactory and taste dysfunctions were assessed via a questionnaire at baseline (in 2014-2016). Incident stroke cases were confirmed by review of medical records. Cox proportional hazards models were used to investigate associations of perceived olfactory and taste dysfunctions with stroke risk, and mediation analysis was used to estimate the mediating effect of chronic disease statuses.Results:
We documented 2,198 incident stroke cases during a mean of 5.6 years of follow-up. Perceived taste dysfunction was associated with a doubled risk of developing total stroke (adjusted HR 2.03; 95% CI 1.36-3.04; P < 0.001) even with adjustment of lifestyle factors, biomarkers (ie, blood lipids, blood glucose, blood pressure, and uric acid), and other potential confounders. However, perceived olfactory dysfunction (adjusted HR 1.22; 95% CI 0.79-1.90; P = 0.34) was not significantly associated with a high risk of total stroke. Similar results of both perceived taste and olfactory dysfunctions were observed for ischemic stroke. Presence of chronic diseases, including hypertension, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and overweight/obesity, mediated 4% to 5% of the association of perceived taste dysfunction with both total stroke and ischemic stroke.Conclusions:
In this large cohort study, perceived taste dysfunction was associated with a high risk of developing stroke.
