Trends in Age of First-Ever Stroke Following Increased Incidence and Life Expectancy in a Low-Income Chinese Population Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— The age of stroke onset tends to be younger among low-income population in China after the dramatic increased incidence of stroke during the gradual extension of life expectancy of population in China. These findings suggested that stroke burden will continue to increase in the long time, unless the risk factors in low-income populations are effectively controlled.

Determinants in Adolescence of Stroke-Related Hospital Stay Duration in Men: A National Cohort Study Brief Reports
Conclusions— Some characteristics relevant to length of stroke-related hospital stay and risk of second stroke are already present in adolescence. Early lifestyle influences are of importance not only to stroke risk by middle age but also to recurrence and use of healthcare resources among stroke survivors.

Contribution of Established Stroke Risk Factors to the Burden of Stroke in Young Adults Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—Modifiable risk factors previously established in older populations also account for a large part of stroke in younger adults, with 4 risk factors explaining almost 80% of stroke risk.Clinical Trial Registration—URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00414583.

Adiposity, Adipokines, and Risk of Incident Stroke in Older Men Original Contributions
Conclusions— Conventional adiposity measures were not associated with increased stroke risk in older men. However, leptin (a good marker of percent fat mass), but not adiponectin, predicted stroke, suggesting a link between fat mass and stroke risk.

Heme Iron Intake and Risk of Stroke: A Prospective Study of Men Original Contributions
Conclusions— Findings from this prospective study indicate that a high heme iron intake, particularly in normal weight individuals, may increase the risk of stroke.

Primary Preventive Potential for Stroke by Avoidance of Major Lifestyle Risk Factors: The European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer and Nutrition-Heidelberg Cohort Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Our analysis confirms the strong primary prevention potential for stroke based on avoidance of excess body weight, smoking, heavy alcohol consumption, unhealthy diet, and physical inactivity.

Obesity Increases Risk of Ischemic Stroke in Young Adults Brief Reports
Conclusions— These results indicate that obesity is a risk factor for young onset ischemic stroke and suggest that this association may be partially mediated through hypertension, diabetes mellitus, or other variables associated with these conditions.

Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and the risk of stroke recurrence in patients with a history of minor ischemic stroke in Japan: a retrospective analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with a history of mild ischemic stroke had low MVPA and high VFL values, which together may be a risk factor for RIS. PMID: 30207894 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Lifestyle Risk Factors for Ischemic Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack in Young Adults in the Stroke in Young Fabry Patients Study Original Contributions
Conclusions— In this large European cohort of young patients with acute ischemic cerebrovascular events, modifiable risk factors were highly prevalent, particularly in men and older patients. These data emphasize the need for vigorous primary and secondary prevention measures already in young populations targeting modifiable lifestyle vascular risk factors.

Is There a Stroke Belt in China and Why? Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— A stroke belt of high stroke incidence exists in 9 provincial regions of north and west China. The stroke belt may be caused, at least in part, by a higher population prevalence of hypertension and excess body weight. Lowering blood pressure and body weight in the stroke belt may reduce the geographic disparity in stroke risk and incidence in China.

Body Mass Index and Stroke: Overweight and Obesity Less Often Associated with Stroke Recurrence
Background: Although obesity is associated with excess mortality and morbidity, mortality is lower in obese than in normal weight stroke patients (the obesity paradox). Studies now indicate that obesity is not associated with increased risk of recurrent stroke in the years after first stroke. We studied the association between body mass index (BMI) and stroke patient's risk of having a history of previous stroke (recurrent stroke).Methods: A registry designed to collect data on all hospitalized stroke patients in Denmark 2000-2010 includes 61,872 acute stroke patients with information on BMI in 38,506. Data include age, se...

Physical activity, but not body mass index, predicts less disability before and after stroke
Conclusions: Physical inactivity predicts a higher risk of being dependent both before and after stroke.

The obesity paradox in stroke: Lower mortality and lower risk of readmission for recurrent stroke in obese stroke patients
ConclusionsxObesity was not only associated with reduced mortality relative to normal weight patients. Compared with normal weight, risk of readmission for recurrent stroke was also lower in obese stroke patients.

Stroke Awareness Among Community Residents in Chicago (P7.135)
CONCLUSIONS:Despite significant efforts made to increase public awareness about stroke, moderate deficits still exist. Future educational programs should consider targeted outreach to younger populations who may live with stroke survivors and minority populations at higher risk for stroke. In addition, financial barriers to calling EMS should be tackled at public policy level.Disclosure: Dr. Mathew has nothing to disclose. Dr. O’Neill has nothing to disclose.
