Table 8. Population attributable risks of presumed etiological factors for which data were available only for subgroups, for any stroke: men and women.
Etiological Factor | PAR (95% CI)a Combined | |
Men (n/N = 215/1,405) | Women (n/N = 330/2,165) | |
Previous total PARb | 0.74 (0.50–0.89) | 0.49 (0.32–0.66) |
Serum C-reactive protein | 0.06 (0.00–0.85) | 0.06 (0.00–0.67) |
Fruit and vegetable intakec | 0.09 (0.03–0.23) | 0.00 (0.00–1.00) |
Carotid IMT | 0.09 (0.01–0.69) | 0.16 (0.04–0.49) |
Grand total | 0.76 (0.54–0.90) | 0.56 (0.34–0.75) |
All analyses are adjusted for age, sex, hypertension, smoking, diabetes mellitus, atrial fibrillation, coronary disease, and overweight/obesity, if appropriate.
Total PAR based on hypertension, smoking, diabetes mellitus, atrial fibrillation, coronary disease, and overweight/obesity, calculated in this subgroup of the study population.
Very low intake (<3 servings per day) and low intake (3–5 servings per day) versus adequate intake (>5 servings per day) of fruits and/or vegetables.
