Estimates of association of telomere length (TL) and genetic prediction telomere with ischemic stroke risk. *P < 0.05 is statistically significant. † Corrected for regressions of TL and potential confounding factors, including age, sex, smoking status, drinking status, and levels of body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, triglycerides, total cholesterol, high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol, low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol, apolipoprotein A1, apolipoprotein B. OR odds ratio, 95% CI 95% confidence interval, ln TL Natural log-transformed telomere length, MR mendelian randomization.
