This study investigated the association between calcium supplements and ischemic stroke, distinguishing between calcium alone and calcium with vitamin D, as well as between cardioembolic and non-cardioembolic stroke. The results showed that calcium supplements were associated with an increased risk of cardioembolic stroke, particularly when used in combination with oral bisphosphonates.
Conflicting results about the association of calcium supplements (CS) with ischemic stroke (IS) have been reported. We tested this hypothesis by differentiating between CS alone (CaM) and CS with vitamin D (CaD) and between cardioembolic and non-cardioembolic IS. We examined the potential interaction with oral bisphosphonates (oBs). A nested case-control study was carried out. We identified incident IS cases aged 40-90 and randomly sampled five controls per case matched by age, sex, and index date. Current users were compared to non-users. An adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and 95% CI were computed through conditional logistic regression. Only new users were considered. We included 13,267 cases (4400 cardioembolic, 8867 non-cardioembolic) and 61,378 controls (20,147 and 41,231, respectively). CaM use was associated with an increased risk of cardioembolic IS (AOR = 1.88; 95% CI: 1.21-2.90) in a duration-dependent manner, while it showed no association with non-cardioembolic IS (AOR = 1.05; 95% CI: 0.74-1.50); its combination with oBs increased the risk of cardioembolic IS considerably (AOR = 2.54; 95% CI: 1.28-5.04), showing no effect on non-cardioembolic. CaD use was not associated with either cardioembolic (AOR = 1.08; 95% CI: 0.88-1.31) or non-cardioembolic IS (AOR = 0.98; 95% CI: 0.84-1.13) but showed a small association with cardioembolic IS when combined with oBs (AOR = 1.35; 95% CI: 1.03-1.76). The results support the hypothesis that CS increases the risk of cardioembolic IS, primarily when used concomitantly with oBs.
