Abstract

Background: Stroke risk is greater in South Asians than Europeans. We sought to compare associations between blood pressure (BP) and stroke by ethnicity and determine how BP contributes to ethnic differences in disease. Methods: Population sample of 1510 European and 1195 South Asian men recruited between 1988-1991, mean age 52 7yrs. Incident fatal and nonfatal strokes were captured over 20 years of follow-up. Cox models demonstrated associations between mean arterial BP (MAP) and stroke. Results: South Asians had more incident strokes than Europeans (5.6 (4.7,6.7) versus 4.7 (4.0,5.6) per 1000 person years, age-adjusted hazard ratio:1.40 (1.08,1.76), pZ0.01) and higher MAPs than Europeans (97 12 versus 93 12mmHg, p
