A cross-sectional analysis of 12,051 Chinese adults from the 2011 China Health and Nutrition Survey found that higher NCD-Risk diet quality scores were positively associated with odds of stroke among Chinese women, particularly those aged 60 years or older.
This national cross-sectional analysis examined the association between diet quality scores and stroke among 12,051 Chinese adults using data from the 2011 wave of the China Health and Nutrition Survey. The NCD-Risk score was positively associated with the odds of stroke among Chinese women; when the NCD-Risk score was ≥ 2 points, women—especially those aged 60 years or older—had higher odds of stroke. An inverse association was observed between GDR score ≥ 2 points and stroke in women. No significant association between diet quality and stroke was found among men. Limitations include the cross-sectional design, which precludes establishing causal or chronological relationships, potential residual confounding from factors such as physical inactivity and basic diseases, and the absence of a significant diet–stroke association in men.
