Women who developed stroke were 2.1 (95% CI 1.5–2.9) times more likely to have an elevated ratio than those who did not [23]. Md Habib et al. 2011 assessed high waist to hip ratio as a risk factor for ischemic stroke for overall stroke and he found 64% of the ischemic stroke ...

In the age group (18–45 years), a woman is at risk of oral contraceptive intake, pregnancy, and puerperium, in the age group (46–60 years) she has passed the reproductive period and is still protected by the endogenous estrogen. Then in the group above 60, women are more at of ...
Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate the associations of accelerometer-measured sedentary time and physical activity of varying intensity and duration with the risk of stroke in a national cohort of middle-aged and older women and men. We hypothesized that less time spent being ...
Stroke is sudden brain cell death due to lack of oxygen when blood flow to the brain is lost by blockage or rupture of an artery in ≥24 h of symptoms onset, with no apparent cause other than vascular origin [[1], [2], [3], [4]]. It is one of the most common medical emergenc...

After adjustment for age, education, and time-varying depressive symptoms, 3MSE errors increased by 22% per year (95% confidence interval [CI] 6.8-36.7%) in men and 13.2% per year (95% \\{CI\\} 3.5-22.9%) in women over the poststroke period. Poststroke \\{WL\\} scores improved ...
