Hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) for haemorrhagic 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 eggs, with exception of the association of eggs which is based on the multivariable-adjusted model. Details on the categorization of covariates can be found in the Supplementary material online, Methods.
