	<65 g (n = 2,029)	=65 g (n = 1,154)
Cases of ischemic stroke	79	63

Stroke rate per 1,000 person-years	7.2	10.6
Hazard ratio
Unadjusted	1.0 (ref.)	1.5 (1.1–2.1)
+ Sociodemographics	1.0 (ref.)	1.5 (1.1–2.1)
+ Sociodemographics, risk factors, BMI, PA	1.0 (ref.)	1.6 (1.2–2.3)

Figures in parentheses are 95% CI. Sociodemographics = age (<65 vs. =65 years), race/ethnicity (non-Hispanic black, non-Hispanic white, Hispanic), sex, education (completed high school vs. not); risk factors = hypertension, diabetes, coronary artery disease, moderate alcohol, current smoking and previous smoking; BMI and PA = body mass index (as a continuous variable) and any leisure physical activity over the past 10 days; dietary confounders = sodium, potassium, fruit/vegetable calcium, fiber, vitamin E; calories = total calories (in quintiles); ref. = reference.
