Stroke was defined as ischemic stroke and stroke unspecified.

The variables alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, anticholesterol drugs, hormone replacement therapy, tranquilizers, blood lipids, blood glucose, education, employment, and living alone were insignificant in the Cox proportional hazards model and excluded from the final model.

^aP-value, test for trend.
