Obesity
There has been reported a certain link between obesity and stroke, particularly in young patients. Although the mortality rate of stroke in obese patients is low, a higher BMI poses a greater risk for stroke. Obesity-related metabolic syndromes result in significantly greater amounts of circulating fats and sugar etc. In the blood. This can, in turn, damage the blood vessels. A confirmed study of obesity’s link to stroke, however, is still underway.
