Key result
The population attributable risk for ischemic stroke varied by ethnicity, with hypertension having a higher PAR in black African (59%) and black Caribbean (46%) groups than in the white group (38%).
Case-Control (n=1,380)
There are significant ethnic differences in the population attributable risk of ischemic stroke risk factors, with hypertension and diabetes having a higher impact in black Caribbean and African populations compared to white populations.

Supports ethnicity-specific hypertension control to reduce stroke disparities; leaves open causal validation in prospective studies.
Hajat et al. (2004) conducted a case-control in Ischemic stroke (n=1,380). Risk factors for ischemic stroke vs. Different ethnic groups (white, black Caribbean, black African) was evaluated on Population attributable risk (PAR) of risk factors for ischemic stroke by ethnic group. The population attributable risk for ischemic stroke varied by ethnicity, with hypertension having a higher PAR in black African (59%) and black Caribbean (46%) groups than in the white group (38%).
