“…<br><br> <strong>Methods</strong> We derived sex-specific models separately for ischemic heart disease (IHD), ischemic stroke (IS), and hemorrhagic stroke (HS) in addition to total CVD in the China Kadoorie Biobank. …”

“…During a median follow‐up of 10 years, we identified 5374 incidents of ischemic heart disease, 664 events of hemorrhagic stroke, and 4834 events of ischemic stroke. …”

Insomnia symptoms and risk of cardiovascular diseases among 0.5 million adults: a 10-year cohort by Zheng, B, Yu, C, Lv, J, Guo, Y, Bian, Z, Zhou, M, Yang, L, Chen, Y, Li, X, Zou, J, Ning, F, Chen, J, Chen, Z, Li, L, China Kadoorie Biobank Collaborative Group

“…Participants with individual symptoms also had higher risks of ischemic heart disease (IHD; HR 1.13, 1.09, and 1.17) and ischemic stroke but not hemorrhagic stroke. Participants with all 3 symptoms were at an 18%, 22%, or 10% higher risk of CVD, IHD, or ischemic stroke compared to nonsymptomatic adults. …”

Causal association between snoring and stroke: a Mendelian randomization study in a Chinese population by Zhu, Y, Zhuang, Z, Lv, J, Sun, D, Pei, P, Yang, L, Chen, Z, Millwood, IY, Walters, RG, Chen, Y, Du, H, Wu, X, Schmidt, D, Avery, D, Chen, J, Li, L, Yu, C

“…</p> <p><strong>Findings:&nbsp;</strong>Positive associations were found between snoring and total stroke, hemorrhagic stroke (HS), and ischemic stroke (IS). With GRS of CKB, the corresponding HRs (95% CIs) were 1.56 (1.15, 2.12), 1.50 (0.84, 2.69), 2.02 (1.36, 3.01), and the corresponding HRs (95% CIs) using GRS of UKB were 1.78 (1.30, 2.43), 1.94 (1.07, 3.52), and 1.74 (1.16, 2.61). …”

Association between blood pressure categories and cardiovascular disease mortality in China by Guo, J, Lv, J, Guo, Y, Bian, Z, Zheng, B, Wu, M, Yang, L, Chen, Y, Su, J, Zhang, J, Yao, J, Chen, J, Chen, Z, Yu, C, Li, L

“…All hypertension subtypes were related to the increased risk of CVD subtypes, with a stronger association for hemorrhagic stroke than for ischemic heart disease. The associations were stronger in younger than older adults. …”

Coarse grain consumption and risk of cardiometabolic diseases: a prospective cohort study of Chinese adults by Yang, J, Du, H, Guo, Y, Bian, Z, Yu, C, Chen, Y, Yang, L, Liu, J, Han, X, Chen, J, Lv, J, Li, L, Chen, Z

“…After a median of 11 years of follow-up, 17,149 cases of diabetes, 29,876 ischemic strokes, 6097 hemorrhagic strokes, and 6704 major coronary events were recorded among 461,047 participants without prevalence of major chronic diseases at baseline. …”

Fresh fruit consumption and major cardiovascular disease in China. by Du, H, Li, L, Bennett, D, Guo, Y, Key, T, Bian, Z, Sherliker, P, Gao, H, Chen, Y, Yang, L, Chen, J, Wang, S, Du, R, Su, H, Collins, R, Peto, R, Chen, Z

“…The adjusted hazard ratios for daily consumption versus nonconsumption were 0.60 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.54 to 0.67) for cardiovascular death, and 0.66 (95% CI, 0.58 to 0.75), 0.75 (95% CI, 0.72 to 0.79), and 0.64 (95% CI, 0.56 to 0.74), respectively, for incident major coronary events, ischemic stroke, and hemorrhagic stroke. There was a strong loglinear dose–response relationship between the incidence of each outcome and the amount of fresh fruit consumed. …”
