Scientific stroke prevention diet!

▎WuXi AppTec content team editors take food as their priority! In addition to filling our stomachs, food is also vital to our health
.

A healthy diet can help reduce the risk of developing and dying from a variety of diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer
.

So what kind of diet can prevent stroke? Screenshot source: Stroke A recent study published in the journal Stroke pointed out that sustainable diets (including the EAT-Lancet diet and alternative healthy diets) not only help protect the environment, but also help reduce the incidence of stroke risk
.

The EAT-Lancet diet score includes a total of 9 categories of food, 1 of which is ingested, and 0 is not ingested: whole grains: such as rice, corn, etc.
; root foods (starchy vegetables): such as potatoes , pumpkin and other vegetables: all kinds of green leafy vegetables Fruit: all kinds of fruits Dairy products: milk, yogurt and other meat proteins: beef, fish, chicken, eggs and other beans: soybeans, red beans, etc.
Added fats: palm oil, butter, etc.
Sugar ▲ EAT-Lancet diet (Image source: Reference [1]) Alternative Healthy Eating Index-2010 (AHEI-2010) involves 11 ingredients: namely vegetables, fruits, whole grains, sugar-sweetened beverages and juices, nuts (such as walnuts) , almonds, pistachios, etc.
) and beans, red and processed meats, trans fatty acids, n-3 fats, polyunsaturated fatty acids, sodium and alcohol
.

The total score is 110 points.
The lower the score, the worse the execution.
The higher the score, the more persistent it is
.

The researchers used data from the Danish Diet, Cancer and Health cohort, involving a total of 55,016 adults aged 50 to 64
.

Before the study began, each participant was asked to fill out a food frequency questionnaire (192 items in total) to assess their eating habits
.

In addition, participants were also asked to fill out life>
.

The researchers constructed dietary scoring rules based on the EAT-Lancet Eating Score and the Alternative Healthy Eating Index-2010 (AHEI-2010) based on food frequency questionnaires, and then analyzed and assessed participants' dietary habits and stroke (including ischemic stroke, cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and other types of stroke)
.

After adjusting for various potential confounders, the researchers found that adherence to the EAT-Lancet diet was associated with a 9% lower risk of stroke compared with those with lower diet scores: Although the data were not statistically significant (HR=0.
91 ); the Alternative Healthy Eating Index-2010 was associated with a 25% lower risk of stroke (HR=0.
75)
.

For stroke classification, after adjusting for various potential confounders, further analysis found that adherence to the EAT-Lancet diet was associated with a 70% lower risk of subarachnoid hemorrhage (HR=0.
3), but was associated with ischemic stroke and The risk of intracerebral hemorrhage was unrelated
.

For women, the EAT-Lancet diet was associated with a 74% lower risk of subarachnoid hemorrhage (HR = 0.
26), but there was no statistical difference for men; on the contrary, adherence to the Alternative Healthy Eating Index-2010 was associated with ischemia A 26% lower risk of stroke (HR=0.
74) was associated with a 52% lower risk of intracerebral hemorrhage (HR=0.
58), but not subarachnoid hemorrhage
.

The paper concluded that adherence to the EAT-Lancet diet in midlife appears to be associated with a lower risk of subarachnoid hemorrhage, while adherence to the AHEI diet is associated with a lower risk of all strokes, mainly ischemic stroke and cerebral hemorrhage
.

Future research is recommended to further explore the long-term effects and health outcomes of dietary patterns (shifting from a meat-based diet to a plant-based diet) on different types of stroke
