Description
Charlotte Kaestner and five co-authors asked which body size measures predict recovery after stroke, in a 2026 conference abstract. The standard body index may miss belly fat, which could matter more. Data came from a Berlin cohort of first-time stroke patients. Outcomes were checked at one year, and repeat strokes over three years.
Five hundred fifty-seven patients with mild to moderate strokes were included. One waist-based index, adjusted for weight, linked to worse function at one year. The standard index and a waist-to-hip measure showed no such link. Forty repeat strokes occurred during follow-up. No body measure linked to repeat stroke risk. The authors read the result as support for waist-based measures in stroke prognosis. Care and prevention may gain from looking past the standard index alone.
