TL;DR: Elevated levels of RBP4 were not associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke among women, and associations betweenRBP4 and isChemic stroke of thrombotic or embolic origin were not observed.

TL;DR: There was a moderately greater risk of total stroke among black compared with white women; however, racial disparities were greatest among women aged 50 to <60 years; Interventions targeted at younger black women may provide the greatest benefit in reducing disparities.
