Oats has rich nutritional profile and potential health benefits, such as reducing blood pressure and cholesterol level – both of which are risk factors in stroke. Hence, it is conceivable that regular consumption of oats may help to reduce risk of stroke. However, there has been no systematic review to linking oat consumption to reduced stroke risk. Therefore, this systematic review examines whether oat consumption can reduce stroke risk using studies indexed in PubMed prior to 01 January 2025. 173 studies were identified and 9 were included; of which, 4 supporting the notion that oat consumption can reduce stroke risk while 5 do not support. Of the 5 studies that do not support, 4 studies show no evidence that oat consumption increase stroke risk, except an early study. This suggests that oat consumption potentially can reduce stroke risk.
