Childhood Stature and Growth in Relation to First Ischemic Stroke or Intracerebral Hemorrhage Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—Short stature at 7 to 13 years is significantly associated with increased risks of IS in both sexes and with ICH in men. Growth during this period of childhood is not significantly associated with either of these stroke subtypes, suggesting that underlying mechanisms linking height with risks of stroke may exert their influence already by early childhood.
