Abstract
Introduction: Poor-quality diets promote ischemic stroke. Red blood cell fatty acids (RBC-FAs) are objective, long-term biomarkers of diet. In a case-control study nested in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)-Spain, we developed a blood-based lipidomic fat quality (LFQ) score considering pre-defined RBC-FA diet-related biomarkers, and examined whether LFQ score relates to the risk of ischemic stroke.
Patients and methods: We determined the RBC-FAs (n = 438 cases of incident ischemic stroke, n = 438 matched controls). For each participant, we scored 1 for each beneficial metric (C15:0+C17:0; C18:2n-6; C18:3n-3; C20:5n-3; C22:6n-3) ⩾the median of the control group; and 1 for each detrimental metric (C16:0; C16:1n-7; C18:0) n = 2468 participants from the Framingham Offspring Study without ischemic stroke at baseline, 12-year median follow-up, n = 121 cases).
Results: In a fully adjusted model, the Odds Ratio (OR) for ischemic stroke was 0.86 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.77-0.95) for each 1-unit increase of the LFQ score. Compared to individuals at the lowest category of LFQ score (0-3 points), those at the top category (5-8 points) had lower odds (OR = 0.64, 95% CI = 0.44-0.94). The findings were similar in the Framingham Offspring Study (Hazard Ratio [HR] for each 1-unit increase = 0.83; 95% CI = 0.70-0.99; HR for those at top category = 0.49; 95% CI = 0.29-0.84, compared to those at the lowest category).
Conclusion: Low blood-based LFQ scores relate to a high risk of ischemic stroke.
期刊介绍:
Launched in 2016 the European Stroke Journal (ESJ) is the official journal of the European Stroke Organisation (ESO), a professional non-profit organization with over 1,400 individual members, and affiliations to numerous related national and international societies. ESJ covers clinical stroke research from all fields, including clinical trials, epidemiology, primary and secondary prevention, diagnosis, acute and post-acute management, guidelines, translation of experimental findings into clinical practice, rehabilitation, organisation of stroke care, and societal impact. It is open to authors from all relevant medical and health professions. Article types include review articles, original research, protocols, guidelines, editorials and letters to the Editor. Through ESJ, authors and researchers have gained a new platform for the rapid and professional publication of peer reviewed scientific material of the highest standards; publication in ESJ is highly competitive. The journal and its editorial team has developed excellent cooperation with sister organisations such as the World Stroke Organisation and the International Journal of Stroke, and the American Heart Organization/American Stroke Association and the journal Stroke. ESJ is fully peer-reviewed and is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Issues are published 4 times a year (March, June, September and December) and articles are published OnlineFirst prior to issue publication.
