Body mass index and waist circumference as predictors of recurrent vascular events after a recent ischemic stroke
Obesity is an independent contributor to ischemic stroke incidence. A meta-analysis of 13 studies revealed that a 5 kg/m2 increase in body mass index (BMI) was associated with a 22% increased risk of ischemic stroke in European/North American/Australian cohorts and a 35% increased risk of ischemic stroke among the Asian populations.1 In a meta-analysis of 7 prospective studies, persons in the highest waist circumference (WC) category had a relative risk of 1.41 (95% CI, 1.21 ⁠–1.56) for ischemic stroke compared with persons in the lowest category.

Association of body mass index and waist-to-height ratio with outcomes in ischemic stroke: results from the Third China National Stroke Registry
Conflicting reports of obesity paradox have led to confusion about weight management strategies for post-stroke patients. The main purpose of this study is to determine whether the obesity paradox measured by ...

Health behavior of young patients with ischemic stroke in Estonia: A score of five factors
ConclusionsBefore stroke, young patients displayed significantly worse health behavior than the general population. The largest differences were found for smoking and obesity, and a cumulation of risk factors was observed via the HBSR score.

Sex differences and risk factors in recurrent ischemic stroke
ConclusionHypertension and dyslipidemia were significant risk factors of recurrent ischemic stroke in both genders. Smoking and alcohol drinking were significant risk factors associated with ischemic stroke recurrence in males. Therefore, smoking cessation and alcohol abstinence are recommended after the first stroke to prevent recurrent ischemic stroke especially for males. Diabetes was a significant risk factor of ischemic stroke recurrence in females. More extensive studies are needed to understand the causal relationship of each factors with ischemic stroke recurrence according to sex differences and specification of p...

Genetic loci, rs17817449 and rs6567160, known for obesity and the risk of stroke events among middle-aged and older Chinese people
ConclusionThe G allele of rs17817449 at the FTO, not rs6567160 at the MC4R, was associated with a decreased risk of fatal stroke occurrence; its functional role in stroke should be explored in relatively healthy middle-aged to older Chinese people.

Gut Microbiota in Ischemic Stroke: Role of Gut Bacteria-Derived Metabolites
AbstractIschemic stroke (IS) remains a leading cause of death and long-term disability globally. Several mechanisms including glutamate excitotoxicity, calcium overload, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, and apoptosis are known to be involved in the pathogenesis of IS, but the underlying pathophysiology mechanisms of IS are not fully clarified. During the past decade, gut microbiota were recognized as a key regulator to affect the health of the host either directly or via their metabolites. Recent studies indicate that gut bacterial dysbiosis is closely related to hypertension, diabetes, obesity, d...

Cholestyramine resin administration alleviated cerebral ischemic injury in obese mice by improving gut dysbiosis and modulating the bile acid profile
In conclusion, Obesity induces gut dysbiosis, worsens stroke outcomes, and perturbs the BA profile. The dysbiotic microbiome is an important linkage between obesity and stroke. CR confers metabolic benefits and neuroprotective effects in obesity, perhaps by modulating gut microbial composition and BA metabolism.PMID:36179877 | DOI:10.1016/j.expneurol.2022.114234

The Effect of Age and Sex on Ischem ıc Stroke: A Sıngle-Centred Neuro-Intensıve Care Unıt Experıence
CONCLUSIONS: RT practices differed according to patients' age and sex. The main determinant of the mortality rate was the lack of RT. However, the older patients and older women had less opportunity for RT.PMID:35470407
