Global burden of stroke attributable to dietary risk factors in the GBD 2021 study

The worldwide toll of stroke linked to dietary risks may have diminished from 1990 to 2021. Nevertheless, the most significant dietary contributors are diets rich in sodium and deficient in fruit, with the stroke burden associated with dietary risks remaining especially elevated in Central Europe, East Asia, and Eastern Europe. Lowering sodium consumption and enhancing fruit intake can aid in alleviating the global disease burden.
