FIGURE 2.

Proportion of living participants by quintiles of energy-adjusted trans fat intake in the Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke study (recruited from all across the continental United States from January 2003 to October 2007). Of 30,239 participants, 8986 were excluded for missing data from the Block 98 food-frequency questionnaires and 2740 for missing data on covariates, which left 18,513 participants for the current analysis. Differences in survival by quintiles of trans fat intake were analyzed by using the Kaplan-Meier method. The log-rank P value was <0.001.
