Why the study?
To estimate the incident risk of ischemic stroke in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes subjects according to different BMI and height categories.
Does body mass index and height influence the incident risk of ischemic stroke in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes subjects?
Does body mass index and height influence the incident risk of ischemic stroke in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes subjects?
In newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes, the relative risk of incident ischemic stroke compared to the general population is paradoxically higher in those with normal BMI and shorter stature.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Normal-BMI T2D signals higher relative stroke risk than obesity; leaves open whether BMI independently modifies cerebrovascular outcomes.
Duan et al. (2019) studied this question.
