Metabolic abnormalities, rather than body mass index, associated with increased risk of recurrent stroke in hospitalized stroke patients: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Metabolic abnormalities and body mass index (BMI) are apparent risk factors for recurrent stroke. For the prevention of recurrent stroke, which one is more important remains uncertain. This study aimed to compare metabolic phenotypes and BMI as indicators of recurrent stroke in Chinese hospitalized stroke patients.

Methods

In this cross-sectional population-based study, 856 hospitalized stroke patients from the First People's Hospital of Changzhou, the Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, were enrolled. We implemented the standardized questionnaire and biochemical measurements to collect participants' data. Recurrent stroke was defined as new-onset stroke in patients with a definite history of previous stroke. Metabolic phenotypes were categorized base
