Abstract

The aim of the study was to evaluate the association of the body mass index (BMI) with mortality and with non-fatal functional outcome in patients with acute stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA).

The impact of overweight in patients with stroke or TIA on secondary fatal and non-fatal functional outcomes is less well established.
