Very few studies have examined the association between body mass index and stroke risk among patients with diabetes.
Does higher body mass index reduce the risk of incident stroke in patients with type 2 diabetes?
Does higher body mass index reduce the risk of incident stroke in patients with type 2 diabetes?
Higher BMI is inversely associated with the risk of total, ischemic, and hemorrhagic stroke in patients with type 2 diabetes, demonstrating an obesity paradox.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Inverse BMI-stroke association in T2D suggests caution with weight loss; leaves open causality and requires prospective confirmation.
Shen et al. (2019) studied this question.
