Figure 2. Relative risk of hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke associated with classic behavior-related vascular risk factors at baseline in those with excellent/good self-rated health.

Relative risk^a is stratified by year of birth and calendar year at baseline and adjusted for region of residence, educational attainment, socioeconomic status, and use of menopausal hormones, and, when appropriate, for smoking, alcohol consumption, body mass index, and physical activity. Test for heterogeneity in the relative risk for current vs never smoking between hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke: p = 0.01. Test for heterogeneity in trend between hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke: alcohol consumption p = 0.02, body mass index p < 0.0001, and physical activity p = 0.59.
