Socioeconomic disparities in the association of age at first live birth with incident stroke among Chinese parous women: A prospective cohort study.

Background

Stroke has become a significant public health issue in China. Although studies have shown that women's age at first live birth (AFLB) might be associated with incident stroke, there is limited evidence on this relationship among Chinese parous women.
