At baseline, healthier levels of three LS7 -BP, physical activity and smoking were associated with reduced risk of stroke. HRs [95% Confidence Intervals] for intermediate and ideal (vs poor) were 0.62 [0.49, 0.79] and 0.41 [0.24, 0.69] for BP; 0.68 [0.49, 0.95] and 0.55 [0.39, 0.79] for physical activity; and 0.68 [0.54, 0.86] and 0.57 [0.43, 0.77] for smoking. For exposures measured at Q20, only BP mai… Show more
