The interactive effect of diabetes and central obesity on stroke: a prospective cohort study of inner Mongolians

Conclusions: The participants who were both diabetic and centrally obese had significantly higher risk for incident stroke than the combination of individuals who individually had either condition among Mongolian population. This study suggests that central obesity and diabetes act synergistically to increase the risk of stroke.
