Abstract
This study investigated the association between education and incident stroke (total, ischemic, and hemorrhagic) using data from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study (n=11,509). Cox hazard regression models showed that participants with advanced education had a 25% decreased rate of total stroke. Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis revealed a likely negative causal association between education and ischemic stroke but not total or hemorrhagic stroke. Higher education was associated with a reduced risk of total and ischemic stroke, but not hemorrhagic stroke.
