Macro partitioning
Higher relative intake of dietary protein is inversely associated with the risk of stroke, with Mendelian randomization confirming a causal protective effect.
If you are concerned about stroke, this study suggests that ensuring adequate protein intake may be beneficial. Higher relative protein intake was linked to a lower risk of stroke. Include protein-rich foods in your diet. Consult your doctor for personalized advice, especially if you have existing kidney conditions.
Log-transformed protein intake was protective against... stroke (OR = 0.747, 95% CI: 0.568–0.988)... MR analysis also revealed causal relationships between... relative protein intake and stroke risk (OR = 0.993, 95% CI: 0.988–0.998, p = 0.010).
Why this rating
Combines large observational NHANES data with robust Mendelian Randomization.
