Quality of plant-based diet and risk of total, ischemic, and hemorrhagic stroke

 I can see almost zero useful information here since there is no specificity. I would never fund research like this with no concrete outcomes.

Journal Summary

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.
