Why the study?
Do high-GI and low-CF diets predict greater stroke mortality and wider retinal venular caliber?
Do high-GI and low-CF diets predict greater stroke mortality and wider retinal venular caliber?
A high-glycemic index diet is associated with increased stroke mortality, potentially mediated by deleterious anatomic changes in the microvasculature.

Supports microvascular mediation of high-GI diet effects on stroke mortality; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
High-GI and low-CF diets predict greater stroke mortality and wider retinal venular caliber. The association between a high-GI diet and stroke death was partly explained by GI effects on retinal venular caliber, suggesting that a high-GI diet may produce deleterious anatomic changes in the microvasculature.
