The purpose of the present study was to clearfy the risk factors for asymptomatic lacunar infarction and also to evaluate the relative importance of each risk factor. The subjects studied comprised 882 healthy males and 376 healthy females without a past history of cerebrovascular diseases, with mean ages ± S.D. of 51± 10 years and 53 ± 10 years, respectively, who visited our institute for the detection of asymptomatic brain diseases. Lacunar infarction was diagnosed from T<SUB>1</SUB>-weighted, T<SUB>2</SUB>-weighted and proton density images obtained by magnetic resonance imaging. Age, past history, medication, blood pressure, body weight, complete blood count, blood chemistry, alcohol and smoking habit were correlated with the presence of lacunar infarction. Overall, lacunar infarctions were found in 84 males (9.5%) and 22 females (5.9%), with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) in incidence between the sexes. In males, age and blood pressure were independent risk factors for lacunae, whereas only age was a risk factor in females. In males, hypertension accelerated the occurrence of lacunar infarction by almost 10 years. The relative risk for having lacunae was 3.24.2 in males in the 6th decade.
