 * REGARDS is an ongoing, national cohort study sponsored by the National
   Institutes of Health (NIH).
   Between 2003-2007, the study enrolled 30,239 black and white participants
   from the continental United States.
   For over two decade, the study has followed its participants to understand
   why Southerners and Black Americans have higher rates of stroke and related
   diseases that affect brain health.

 * The largest cohort of its kind, REGARDS provides unprecedented opportunities
   to improve the public’s health.
   
   As of January 2024:
   
   200+ Funded Ancillary Studies
   650+ Publications

 * On behalf of the REGARDS team, we’d like to say,
   "Thank You"

REGARDS - REASONS FOR GEOGRAPHIC AND RACIAL DIFFERENCES IN STROKE

TO PREVENT A STROKE, HOUSEHOLD CHORES AND LEISURELY STROLLS MAY HELP


TO PREVENT A STROKE, HOUSEHOLD CHORES AND LEISURELY STROLLS MAY HELP

As we get older, unfortunately our chances of having a stroke rise. While
there’s obviously no way to turn back the clock on our age, fortunately there
are ways to lower our risk of a stroke and that includes staying physically
active. Take walks, ride a bike, play a favorite sport. According to our current
exercise guidelines for American adults, the goal is to get in at least two and
a half hours each week of moderate-intensity physical activity as well as two
days of muscle-strengthening activity.

NATIONAL STUDY SUGGESTS INCREASING MODERATE ACTIVITY COULD CUT STROKE RISK BY 40
PERCENT

Stroke has been well established as a preventable disease, but it is the second
most common cause of death in the United States and third most common cause of
disability globally. Physical activity level has emerged as an important risk
factor for stroke, but the amount and intensity required to prevent strokes has
yet to be determined.

THIS LONG-RUNNING STUDY PROVES THAT NICE PEOPLE FINISH FIRST


THIS LONG-RUNNING STUDY PROVES THAT NICE PEOPLE FINISH FIRST

Science always begins with a question, and Big Science poses big questions. At
the turn of the millennium, one of the biggest conundrums in the health of
America was the disparity in stroke deaths between Black and white individuals
across the United States, and between residents of the South and people living
in the rest of the country. Black people under age 75 were more than twice as
likely to die from stroke than were white people, while people who lived in the
South had a 40 percent higher risk of dying from stroke than their counterparts
in other parts of the United States.

NEW STUDY CALCULATES DAMAGE OF FOOD + LIFESTYLE FAILS. WHAT’S YOUR SCORE?

Hot sauce may burn the tongue, but the inner fire of inflammation brings real
damage.

“We know inflammation is detrimental for heart disease, cancer and other chronic
conditions,” said Suzanne Judd, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of
Biostatistics. Research has demonstrated that diet and lifestyle choices
contribute to inflammation. But which foods and choices do we mean, exactly?
