Overview

Adiposity may raise ischemic stroke risk in Chinese adults; extends prior data but leaves open causality and prevention effects.

Structured PICO

Do measures of adiposity increase the risk of incident stroke in Chinese adults?

P
Population
94,744 participants (18-98 years old) in the Kailuan study in China
I
Intervention
Higher adiposity (measured by body mass index [BMI], waist circumference [WC], waist-to-hip ratio [WHpR], and waist-to-height ratio [WHtR])
C
Comparator
Lower adiposity (lowest quintile of adiposity measures)
O
Outcome
Incident stroke (total, ischemic, or hemorrhagic) over 4 years follow-uphard clinical

Various measures of adiposity similarly increase the risk of total and ischemic stroke, but not hemorrhagic stroke, in a large Chinese cohort.
