Under intake	LBS	0–60	Non-Ischemic stroke	22.68 ± 6.82	0	5.3	57.2	35.2	2.3
			Ischemic stroke	22.42 ± 7.09	0	5.6	62.0	29.6	2.8
Over intake	HBS	0–40	Non-Ischemic stroke	11.84 ± 6.68	2.7	36.0	43.8	16.6	0.9
			Ischemic stroke	13.30 ± 6.43	2.1	28.9	42.9	25.4	0.7
Overall unbalance	DQD	0–84	Non-Ischemic stroke	34.51 ± 8.35	0	1.4	50.7	44.0	3.9
			Ischemic stroke	35.72 ± 7.81	0	0	47.2	48.6	4.2

^a Distribution of the lower bound score (LBS): No problem: 0; Almost no problem: 1–12; Low level: 13–24; Moderate level: 25–36; High level: 37–60. Distribution of the higher bound score (HBS): No problem: 0; Almost no problem: 1–9; Low level: 10–18; Moderate level: 19–27; High level: 28–44. Distribution of the diet quality distance (DQD): No problem: 0; Almost no problem: 1–17; Low level: 18–34; Moderate level: 35–50; High level: 51–84.
