Metabolic obesity phenotypes and risk of ischemic stroke: The Rural Chinese Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The association of metabolic obesity phenotypes and ischemic stroke remains controversial. We aimed to determine the risk of ischemic stroke according to metabolically healthy and obesity status.

Methods

A total of 14,707 study participants from The Rural Chinese Cohort Study (RCCS) who were free of stroke and cardiovascular disease (CVD) were stratified by metabolic risk and body mass index (BMI) status at baseline during 2007-2008 and further followed up during 2013-2014. Hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of incident ischemic stroke associated with different metabolic-obesity categories were estimated by using Cox regression analysis.

Results

During a median follow-up of 6.02 years, we identified 522 newly diagnosed ischemic stroke case
