TL;DRAbstract

Background: Prior observational studies suggest that self-reported consumption of dairy foods is associated with lower risk of stroke. Few studies have used circulating biomarkers that provide objective measure of dairy consumption. AIM: To test the hypothesis that plasma fatty acid biomarkers of dairy, 15:0, 17:0 and 16:1 n-7t, are associated with lower risk of incident stroke, especially ischemic stroke. Methods: We performed nested case-control studies in two prospective cohorts, the Nurses Health Study (NHS) and Health Professionals Follow Up Study (HPFS). Blood collected in 1989-90 (NHS) and 1993-94 (HPFS) was used to measure plasma 15:0, 17:0 and 16:1 n-7t biomarkers that are not endogenously synthesized. Stroke was prospectively adjudicated using medical records through 2004. A total of 597 stroke cases (NHS:475, HPFS:122), including 454 ischemic, 122 hemorrhagic and 21 unknown type, were matched 1:1 with controls on age, race, smoking, blood collection date and follow-up time (
