Mediterranean Diet Linked to Lower Stroke Risk, Including Bleeding Strokes, in a 20-Year Study

A long-term study of more than 100,000 women over about 21 years found that closer adherence to a Mediterranean-style diet—rich in fruits, vegetables, beans, fish and olive oil—was linked to an 18% lower risk of any stroke, with a 16% reduction for ischemic (clot-related) strokes and a striking 25% lower risk of hemorrhagic (brain-bleeding) strokes. The association held after adjusting for smoking, physical activity and blood pressure, suggesting diet is linked to better brain health, though causality can’t be proven.

Mediterranean Diet Cuts Stroke Risk in Women, Study Finds

A long-running study of more than 100,000 women over more than 20 years found that strong adherence to a Mediterranean-style diet lowers overall stroke risk by 18%, with a 25% reduction in hemorrhagic stroke risk and a 16% reduction in ischemic stroke risk, suggesting this eating pattern supports brain health by reducing blood pressure, cholesterol and inflammation.

Two-Decade Mediterranean Diet Linked to Lower Stroke Risk Across Types

A 21-year study of 105,614 California women found that higher adherence to a Mediterranean diet—rich in olive oil, nuts, seafood, whole grains and vegetables—was linked to lower risk of total stroke, including ischemic and hemorrhagic types, with up to a 25% reduction for hemorrhagic stroke; while not proving causation, experts say the findings support dietary approaches to stroke prevention, though limitations include self-reported diet and only female participants.

"Managing Statin Use for Individuals with a History of Hemorrhagic Stroke: Expert Advice"

Statin drugs like rosuvastatin can reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke, but they also have downsides. It is not low cholesterol that increases the risk of hemorrhagic stroke, but rather the statin itself. The overall risk of hemorrhagic stroke in people taking statins is low, but individuals with a history of hemorrhagic stroke should carefully consider the use of statins. In such cases, a PCSK9 inhibitor may be a better option. Stopping ezetimibe, which caused muscle cramps, was a reasonable decision. The optimal treatment should be determined by a doctor based on individual risk factors for heart disease and stroke.

If someone has any of those symptoms, it's time to immediately call 911. Strokes can be prevented with a balanced diet, moderate use of alcohol, no tobacco use, blood pressure control, and moderate exercise.
