Abstract
There is no significant evidence for concluding that dietary MUFA is associated with a reduced risk of overall stroke. However, higher MUFA intake seems to be associated with a reduced risk of hem orrhagic stroke but not ischemic stroke. Duration of MUFA intake and sex are considered as factors affecting the relationship between MUFA intake and stroke risk. Further studies are needed to evaluate the relationship between specific food sources of MUFA (i.e., plant versus animal) and stroke risk.
