Socioeconomic Position and Incidence of Ischemic Stroke in Denmark 2003-2012. A Nationwide Hospital-Based Study Stroke
Conclusions In Denmark, there is a strong relation between low socioeconomic position and risk for hospitalization for stroke. Lifestyle, as indicated by smoking, obesity, and alcohol consumption, and diabetes appears to increase the risk for stroke in people with lower socioeconomic position.

Hypertension, alcohol drinking and stroke incidence: a population-based prospective cohort study among inner Mongolians in China
Conclusion:These findings suggest that hypertension is an independent risk factor of stroke in Inner Mongolians. Drinkers with hypertension seem to be more susceptible to stroke; larger-sample prospective cohort studies are still required to examine the cumulative effect of drinking and hypertension on stroke incidence.

Prevalence, Incidence and Mortality of Stroke in China: Results from a Nationwide Population-Based Survey of 480,687 Adults.
CONCLUSIONS: -Stroke burden in China has increased over the last 30 years, and remains particularly high in rural areas. There is a north-to-south gradient in stroke in China, with the greatest stroke burden observed in the northern and central regions. PMID: 28052979 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Genetically predicted higher educational attainment decreases the risk of stroke: a multivariable Mendelian randomization study
CONCLUSIONS: We found that genetically predicated higher EA decreased the risks of total stroke, ischemic stroke, and cardioembolic stroke, independent of smoking, alcohol consumption, BMI, intelligence, and hypertension.PMID:35710362 | DOI:10.1186/s12872-022-02713-7

Stroke-Specific Predictors of Major Bleeding in Anticoagulated Patients With Stroke and Atrial Fibrillation: A Nationwide Multicenter Registry-Based Study
CONCLUSIONS: This study found that major bleeding risk was independently associated with stroke-specific factors in anticoagulated patients with stroke and AF. This has the clinical implication that baseline characteristics of patients with stroke and AF should be considered in secondary prevention, which would bring the net clinical benefit of balancing recurrent stroke prevention with minimal bleeding complications.PMID:37455504 | DOI:10.3988/jcn.2022.0289

Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Stroke: A Mendelian Randomization Study
CONCLUSION: This study suggested that the potential causal effect of NAFLD on ischemic stroke may be confined to the LAA and SVO subtypes.PMID:35147274 | DOI:10.1111/ene.15277

Abstract 111: Depression as a Risk Factor for Incident Ischemic Stroke Among HIV-infected Veterans Session Title: Poster Session AM
Conclusions: In the VACS, MDD was associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke in HIV+ veterans after adjustment for sociodemographic characteristics, traditional cerebrovascular risk factors, and HIV factors; however, this association was modestly attenuated after adjustment for cocaine and alcohol abuse/dependence. Future research is necessary to: (a) fully elucidate the relationships among MDD, cocaine/alcohol use, and stroke risk and (b) determine whether intervening on MDD reduces stroke risk in HIV+ and HIV- people. Clinical providers should be aware of the increased stroke risk among HIV+ adults with MDD.

Association of Gut Microbiota-Dependent Metabolite Trimethylamine N-Oxide with First Ischemic Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: This study suggested a positive association between plasma TMAO and ischemic stroke. Further studies are required to explore the role of plasma TMAO concentrations in predicting stroke risk. PMID: 32641646 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Risk factors predisposing to acute stroke in India: a prospective study
Conclusion: The foremost risk factors for stroke in India, hypertension and diabetes, need to be controlled and treated like other global high-risk populations for stroke prevention. The NIHSS scores highlight the relationship between risk factors and stroke severity.

The relationship between job type and development of cerebral stroke in a large, longitudinal cohort study of workers in a railway company in Japan
Conclusions: Since the present results were adjusted for various behavioral and biological factors, they suggest that train crew work itself is associated with a decreased risk of cerebral stroke. These results suggest that further studies on the effect of driving on health may provide information useful for the future prevention of cerebral stroke.Highlights:

The ACTB Variants and Alcohol Drinking Confer Joint Effect to Ischemic Stroke in Chinese Han Population.
CONCLUSIONS: ACTB rs852426 was significantly associated with alcohol consumption on stroke risk, and the expression of ACTB mRNA in IS who had a drinking habit was significantly down-regulated. This finding will provide a novel insight into the prevention of stroke. PMID: 31327802 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation patients in clinical practice of district hospital in Poland.
CONCLUSIONS: (1). Despite of high stroke risk determined by both scales only 39% of patients received OAC. (2). In the analyzed material the independent predictive factor in this group for prescribing OAC at discharge was arterial hypertension (in accordance with recommendations) and: the younger patients age, no history of stroke/TIA and other than paroxysmal type of AF. (3). Practice of the usage of OAC and/or antiplatelet therapy in AF patients discharged from Polish district hospital was in concordance with current guidelines of ESC neither in 2006 nor 2010.

Alcohol-related hospitalization is associated with increased risk of ischaemic stroke among low-risk patients with atrial fibrillation
ConclusionThe presence of a previous hospitalization with an alcohol-related disease was associated with a small but significant increase in the risk of stroke among low-risk AF patients. More research about relation between alcohol use and ischaemic stroke in AF patients is warranted.
