Does elevated BMI increase the risk of stroke incidence and mortality in Chinese adults?
Does elevated BMI increase the risk of stroke incidence and mortality in Chinese adults?
Elevated BMI is associated with an increased risk of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke incidence and mortality in Chinese adults.
Supports BMI monitoring for stroke risk in Chinese adults; extends observational data but leaves causal confirmation open.
These results suggest that elevated BMI increases the risk of both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke incidence, and stroke mortality in Chinese adults.
