Association between dietary protein intake and risk of stroke: A meta-analysis of prospective studies
Stroke is often regulated by a number of modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors [1]. The result from a global research suggest that over 90% of the stroke risk is explained by modifiable risk factors, and behavioral control maybe a priority way to reduce the risk of stroke [2]. Recently, there have evidence that dietary protein intake may be associated with the risk of stroke. A previous meta-analysis combined the results from seven prospective studies and found a significant association between dietary animal protein intake and stroke risk (RR 0.71; 95% CI 0.50 –0.99) [3].
