Zusammenfassung:BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE—We aimed to examine the relation of baseline plasma zinc with the risk of first stroke and investigate any possible effect modifiers in hypertensive patients. METHODS—The study population was drawn from the CSPPT (China Stroke Primary Prevention Trial), using a nested case-control design, including 599 first stroke cases and 599 matched controls. RESULTS—Compared with participants with baseline plasma zinc
