Why the study?
Do risk factors have a similar effect on stroke incidence as on stroke mortality?
Do risk factors have a similar effect on stroke incidence as on stroke mortality?
Epidemiological studies using stroke mortality as an endpoint are likely to yield results applicable to stroke incidence.
Stroke mortality endpoints may proxy incidence in risk-factor studies; leaves open validation in diverse prospective cohorts.
The risk factors had a similar effect on stroke incidence as on stroke mortality. Epidemiological studies with information on stroke mortality are likely to give results applicable to stroke incidence.
