The associations of major foods and fibre with risks of ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke: a prospective study of 418 329 participants in the EPIC cohort across nine European countries.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To investigate the associations between major foods and dietary fibre with subtypes of stroke in a large prospective cohort.

Methods and results

We analysed data on 418 329 men and women from nine European countries, with an average of 12.7 years of follow-up.

Multivariable-adjusted Cox regressions were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) for ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke associated with consumption of red and processed meat, poultry, fish, dairy foods, eggs, cereals, fruit and vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds, and dietary fibre.
