Obesity and ischemic stroke / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Ischemic stroke is the main cause of death in Chinese population.Among the many risk factors for ischemic stroke,obesity is one of the controllable factors,which can indirectly increase the risk of stroke by causing diseases such as hyperlipidemia,hypertension,and diabetes.However,the current research results on the effects of obesity on the onset,treatment and outcome of stroke are still inconsistent.This article reviews the relationship between obesity and the risks,pathogeneses,outcomes of ischemic stroke,as well as obesity paradox.
