Notice that this research didn't find a vegetarian diet and plant-based diet the same. You'll have to ask your doctor to find out those definitions. I could argue that carnivores are eating herbivores and thus going back to the source of the original food, carnivores are just once removed from being vegetarians.
Quality of plant-based diet and risk of total, ischemic, and hemorrhagic stroke
Researchers looked at the links between plant-based diet quality and the risk of total, ischemic, and hemorrhagic stroke to see if a healthful plant-based diet is linked to a lower risk of stroke. Participants included 73,890 women from the Nurses' Health Study (NHS; 1984–2016), 92,352 women from NHSII (1991–2017), and 43,266 men from the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study (1986–2012) who were free of cardiovascular disease and cancer at baseline. Six thousand two hundred forty-one total stroke cases (including 3,015 ischemic and 853 hemorrhagic strokes) were documented during the follow-up. Despite the small number of cases, no link was found between a vegetarian diet and total stroke. Those who followed a healthful plant-based diet had a lower risk of total stroke.
