Description
Redoy Ranjan and co-authors present a 2024 study on body measures and bleeding strokes in Bangladesh. Simple measures like weight and waist size predict heart and vessel disease, but most cut-off values come from people of European ancestry. The MAGPIE study set out to build values that fit the Bangladeshi population.
The case-control study enrolled 1,491 matched people nationwide between 2022 and 2024. Of these, 918 had a haemorrhagic stroke, and women made up just over half of that group. Body mass index, waist size, and hip size were all higher in the stroke group. Curve analysis set local cut-off points for each measure. The results give doctors in Bangladesh thresholds grounded in their own population.
