Hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) for ischaemic stroke per unit higher calibrated intake of major foods and fibre in the EPIC study. Unit sizes represent approximate differences in mean 24 h recall intake between participants in the lowest and highest fifths of observed intake. Hazard ratios were adjusted for age, smoking status and number of cigarettes per day, history of diabetes, prior hypertension, prior hyperlipidaemia, Cambridge physical activity index, employment status, level of education completed, current alcohol consumption, body mass index, and calibrated intake of energy, and stratified by sex and EPIC centre. The right-hand column included further adjustment for significant foods from the left-hand column, details on the food adjustment and categorization of covariates can be found in the Supplementary material online, Methods.
