<p>The aim of this study was to explore the effect of waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) on stroke severity. A population-based cross-sectional, observational prospective cohort study was conducted from 2022 to 2023 in Bosnia and Herzegovina. A total of 440 subjects were included in the cohort divided into two groups. The first group consisted of 220 patients with stroke (S), and the second group from 220 subjects without S (control, C). We measured the WHR, BMI and WC. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale was used to assess the S severity. The largest number of subjects of both groups have BMI in the category of increased body weight, (57.7% of patients with, and 56.8% of subjects without S). The average BMI (in kg/m<sup>2</sup>) was slightly higher in the S group and amounted to 28.2 ± 4.2 in comparison to the C with the average BMI of 27.6 ± 3.9. The average WHR was almost identical in both groups (0.55 ± 0.07 in S group, 0.55 ± 0.06 in C). The largest number of patients (<i>n</i> = 140, 63.6%) had a moderate to severe S.

摘要

The aim of this study was to explore the effect of waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) on stroke severity. A population-based cross-sectional, observational prospective cohort study was conducted from 2022 to 2023 in Bosnia and Herzegovina. A total of 440 subjects were included in the cohort divided into two groups. The first group consisted of 220 patients with stroke (S), and the second group from 220 subjects without S (control, C). We measured the WHR, BMI and WC. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale was used to assess the S severity. The largest number of subjects of both groups have BMI in the category of increased body weight, (57.7% of patients with, and 56.8% of subjects without S). The average BMI (in kg/m2) was slightly higher in the S group and amounted to 28.2 ± 4.2 in comparison to the C with the average BMI of 27.6 ± 3.9. The average WHR was almost identical in both groups (0.55 ± 0.07 in S group, 0.55 ± 0.06 in C). The largest number of patients (n = 140, 63.6%) had a moderate to severe S. The largest WC (in cm) had patients with a hemorrhagic S (HS) 96.4 ± 15.5, compared to patients with thrombotic S (TS) 94.9 ± 11.9, and embolic S (ES) 94.5 ± 10.2. The average BMI was slightly higher in ES group (28.5 ± 2.8) in comparison to HS (28.4 ± 5.9) and TS (28.1 ± 4.2). WHR was almost identical in all three types of S. In conclusion, WHR, BMI and WC may be good risk factors for stroke risk assessment.
