Objective Obesity is a risk factor for ischaemic stroke but provides a survival advantage. The
relationship between body mass index (BMI) and long-term function is less clear. The …

INTRODUCTION Several studies have shown a paradoxical association between body
mass index (BMI) and mortality after stroke. However, the association between BMI, waist …

Background: Previous literature has identified a survival advantage in acute ischemic stroke
(AIS) patients with elevated body mass indices (BMIs), a phenomenon termed the “obesity …

Background Although associated with excess mortality and morbidity, obesity is associated
with lower mortality after stroke. The association between obesity and risk of recurrent stroke …

Background and purpose Obesity is an established risk factor for ischemic stroke but the
association of increased body mass index (BMI) with survival after ischemic stroke remains …

Background Obesity paradox has been reported because of the inverse relationship
between the body mass index (BMI) and mortality in stroke patients. The relationship …

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 …

Objectives Although obesity is a risk factor for stroke, its impact on mortality in patients with
stroke remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between body …

Aim An association between body mass index (BMI) and stroke outcome have been
reported, but the results are controversial. The aim of the present study was to evaluate …

Background The association between obesity, major adverse cardiovascular events
(MACE), and mortality in patients with incident stroke is not well established. We assessed …
