“…10,14,15,21,22 The eligible studies were published between 2003 and 2012, and included a total of 10 630 stroke cases and 329 495 participants (Supplementary Table 1). Data about subtypes of stroke were presented in 4 articles 14,15,21,22 and contained 6420 cases of ischemic stroke and 1276 cases of hemorrhagic stroke. Two studies were conducted in Europe, 3 (published in 2 articles) were conducted in the United States, and 1 was conducted in Japan.…”

“…Two studies provided results for red meat consumption in grams per day, 3 in servings per day, and 1 in frequency (how often). In 2 articles, stroke events were identified using The International Classification of Diseases 10 th revision, 14,15 in which strokes were classified as ischemic stroke (International Classification of Diseases 10 th revision code I63), hemorrhagic strokes (International Classification of Diseases 10 th revision codes I60 and I61), and unspecific strokes (I64). Bernstein et al 21 classified strokes according to criteria in the National Survey of Stroke.…”

Background and Purpose-Prospective studies of red meat consumption and risk of stroke have provided inconsistent results. We performed a meta-analysis to summarize the evidence regarding the effects of red meat (fresh, processed, and total) consumption on stroke risk. Methods-Studies were identified by searching the PubMed database through May 26, 2012, and by reviewing the reference lists of retrieved articles. Prospective studies that reported relative risks (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the association between red meat consumption and risk of stroke were eligible. Results were combined using a random-effects model. Results-Five articles including results from 6 prospective studies with 10 630 cases of stroke and 329 495 participants were included in the meta-analysis. For each serving per day increase in fresh red meat, processed meat, and total red meat consumption, the RR (95% CI) of total stroke were 1.11 (1.03-1.20), 1.13 (1.03-1.24), and 1.11 (1.06 -1.16), respectively, without heterogeneity among studies (PϾ0.16). Among 4 articles with results for stroke subtypes, the risk of ischemic stroke was positively associated with consumption of fresh red meat (RR, 1.13; 95% CI, 1.00 -1.27), processed meat (RR, 1.15; 95% CI, 1.06 -1.24), and total red meat (RR, 1.12; 95% CI, 1.05-1.19); no statistically significant associations were observed for hemorrhagic stroke. Conclusion-Results from this meta-analysis indicate that consumption of fresh red meat and processed red meat as well as total red meat is associated with increased risk of total stroke and ischemic stroke, but not hemorrhagic stroke.

“…Details about these cohort studies have been described elsewhere. 10,11 Briefly, in the Fall of 1997, 39 227 women and 48 850 men who resided in central Sweden (Uppsala, Västmanland, and Ö rebro counties) completed a 350-item questionnaire about diet and other lifestyle factors. For the current analyses, we excluded participants with an incorrect or a missing National Registration Number, those with very low or high total energy intake (ie, 3 SDs from the log e -transformed mean energy intake; Ͻ579 kcal/day and Ͼ4664 kcal/day in women and Ͻ864 kcal/day and Ͼ7277 kcal/day in men), and those with a history of stroke, coronary heart disease, or cancer at baseline.…”

Background and Purpose-Epidemiological studies of the associations of low-fat dairy and specific dairy food consumption with risk of stroke are sparse. Our aim was to examine the association between consumption of total, low-fat, full-fat, and specific dairy foods and risk of stroke in a prospective cohort study. Methods-We followed 74 961 Swedish women and men who were free from cardiovascular disease and cancer and who completed a 96-item food frequency questionnaire in 1997. Incident cases of stroke were ascertained from the Swedish Hospital Discharge Registry. Results-During a mean follow-up of 10.2 years, we ascertained 4089 cases of stroke, including 3159 cerebral infarctions, 583 hemorrhagic strokes, and 347 unspecified strokes. Consumption of low-fat dairy foods was inversely associated with risk of total stroke (P for trendϭ0.03) and cerebral infarction (P for trendϭ0.03). The multivariable relative risks for the highest compared with the lowest quintile of low-fat dairy consumption were 0.88 (95% CI, 0.80 -0.97) for total stroke and 0.87 (95% CI, 0.78 -0.98) for cerebral infarction. Consumption of total dairy, full-fat dairy, milk, sour milk/yogurt, cheese, and cream/crème fraiche was not associated with stroke risk. Conclusions-These results suggest that low-fat dairy consumption is inversely associated with the risk of stroke. (Stroke.

Objective: To investigate the association between a low-risk lifestyle and risk of stroke. Methods:The study population comprised 31,696 women, in the population-based SwedishMammography Cohort who at baseline had completed a questionnaire about diet and lifestyle and were free from cardiovascular disease and cancer. We defined a low-risk lifestyle as a healthy diet (top 50% of a Recommended Food Score), moderate alcohol consumption (5-15 g/d), never smoking, physically active (walking/bicycling $40 min/d and exercise $1 h/wk), and body mass index below 25 kg/m 2 . Stroke cases were identified from the Swedish National Patient Register and the Swedish Cause of Death Register. Stroke is a major cause of disability and mortality. Because the consequences of stroke are usually devastating and irreversible, primary prevention is of great importance. Hypertension is a strong and well-documented risk factor for stroke.1 Diet, alcohol consumption, smoking, physical activity, and adiposity can modify blood pressure and thus the risk of stroke.1,2 Few studies have examined the combined effect of a low-risk lifestyle on the incidence of stroke. [3][4][5][6] The objective of the present study was to examine the combined effect of multiple low-risk lifestyle factors (healthy diet, 7 moderate alcohol consumption, never smoking, physically active, and healthy body weight) on incidence of total stroke and stroke types in a population-based prospective cohort of Swedish women.METHODS Study population. For the present study, we used data from the Swedish Mammography Cohort, which has been described in detail previously. 8 Briefly, in the autumn of 1997, 39,227 women who resided in Uppsala and Västmanland counties, central Sweden, and were born between 1914 and 1948 completed a 350-item questionnaire concerning diet and lifestyle.Standard protocol approvals, registrations, and patient consents. The Regional Ethical Review Board at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden, approved this study. Return of the completed questionnaire was considered to imply informed consent.Assessment of lifestyle factors. At baseline in 1997, all participants of the Swedish Mammography Cohort completed a selfadministered questionnaire that solicited information on education, body weight, height, smoking, physical activity, use of aspirin, history of hypertension and diabetes, family history of myocardial infarction before the age of 60 years, alcohol consumption, and diet. Participants indicated how many minutes or hours per day they had walked/bicycled (almost never, ,20 min/d, 20-40 min/d,
