Metabolic unhealth, not obesity alone, was associated with higher ischemic stroke risk; hypothesis-generating for metabolic profiling in risk stratification.
Does metabolic health status rather than obesity alone determine the risk of incident ischemic stroke?
Metabolic health status, rather than obesity itself, appears to be the primary driver of ischemic stroke risk, highlighting the importance of metabolic profiling in cardiovascular risk assessment.
Sánchez‐Íñigo et al. (2016) studied this question.
