Abstract

Stroke is often regulated by a number of modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors. Recently, studies suggested high gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) level may be associated with stroke, but drew inconsistent conclusions. So, we conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the relationship between GGT level and risk of stroke.
