Hypertension is a major risk factor for stroke. However, a substantial decrease in blood pressure levels in Japanese during the past 3 decades may have reduced contributions of hypertension to risk of stroke. The population attributable fraction, the percentage of outcomes attributable to exposure, of blood pressure for the incidence of stroke was investigated during 3 survey periods between 1963 and 1994 by means of a population-based cohort study.
