Fig Dietary scores (assessed by food frequency questionnaire) in both stroke patients and controls. CV dietary, cardiovascular dietary; F-V, fruit and vegetables; MUFA, mono-unsaturated fatty acids; SFA, saturated fatty acids; Ω3 PUFA, Ω3 poly-unsaturated fatty acids. Mean ± SD values of each dietary score. SFA score is expressed negatively because overall CV dietary score = MUFA + Ω-3 PUFA + fruit and vegetables − SFA. *P values between groups are detailed in Table II.
