Zn(2+) — decreases incidence of stroke
ModerateEvidence strength: moderate. Human evidence with one recorded weakness, or capped at moderate by its design or by unread numbers.Finding“Serum zinc levels were inversely associated with incidence of ischemic stroke after adjustment for potential confounders (quartile 4 vs. quartile 1: HR=0.78, 95% CI: 0.61-0.98, p=0.03 for trend).”
