Increased egg consumption is inversely associated with the risk of hemorrhagic stroke.
For the general population, eating more eggs might be associated with a lower risk of hemorrhagic stroke. However, this finding is based on a small number of studies, so it should be interpreted with caution. Do not change your diet solely based on this subgroup finding without consulting a professional.
