Dietary potassium has been associated with lower risk of stroke but there is little data on dietary potassium effects on different stroke subtypes or in older hypertensive and non-hypertensive women. The study population consisted of 90,137 postmenopausal women aged 50–79 at enrollment, free of stroke history at baseline, followed prospectively for an average of 11 years. Outcome variables were total, ischemic, and hemorrhagic stroke, and all-cause mortality. Incidence was compared across quartiles of dietary potassium intake and hazard ratios were obtained from Cox proportional hazards models after adjusting for potential confounding variables, and in hypertensive and non-hypertensive women separately. Mean dietary potassium intake was 2611 mg/day. Highest quartile of potassium intake was associated with lower incidence of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, and total mortality. Multivariate analyses comparing highest to lowest quartile of potassium intake, indicated a hazard ratio (HR) for all-cause mortality of 0.90 (95% CI: 0.85 – 0.95), for all stroke of HR=0.88 (95% CI: 0.79 – 0.98), and for ischemic stroke of 0.84 (95% CI: 0.74 – 0.96). The effect on ischemic stroke was more apparent in non-hypertensive women among whom there was a 27% lower risk with HR of 0.73 (95% CI: 0.60 – 0.88), interaction p-value <.10. There was no association with hemorrhagic stroke. High potassium intake is associated with a lower risk of all stroke and ischemic stroke as well as all-cause mortality in older women, particularly those who are not hypertensive.
