It all comes down to: What your priorities are What your objectives are Your risk tolerance Your ability to update that risk model Where you draw the line of ‘risk’ equating to ‘causation’ The same is true when it comes to the question of statins ‘causing’ diabetes. What to do? Let’s dive in.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ADP42-ADP42, February 1, 2025.

Share Cardiovascular Disease Those in the ‘Ideal’ category were 55% less likely to develop diseases of the circulatory system, including: Heart Disease Stroke Heart Failure Atrial Fibrillation For each 10-point increment in lifestyle score, there was a proportionate 20% reduction in these conditions combined.
There are significant data that show that if you have obesity, you have a high risk of developing coronary heart disease, heart failure, type 2 diabetes (T2D) or risk factors such as hypertension and dyslipidemia. [1] These individuals tend to have a better prognosis when compared to both individuals with normal weight (BMI of 18.5
Growing Global Burden of Cardiometabolic Risks: The 2023 World Obesity Atlas projects a significant rise in global overweight and obesity levels by 2035, leading to a surge in diabetes cases. The vision of heart-healthy, stroke-free, and thriving communities worldwide is achievable through proactive measures and collaborative efforts.
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A131-A131, February 1, 2024. The primary outcome was incident ischemic stroke. There were a total of 18 ischemic stroke events among those with LVI (6%) and 65 among those without LVI (3%). Participants with LVI were significantly older, male, Black, had higher BMI, and lower HDL.
Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWMP81-AWMP81, February 1, 2024. Malnutrition is common in stroke patients and leads to worse outcomes. Body mass index (BMI) is a widely available marker of nutrition status, however studies on BMI and post-ICH outcomes are limited and have conflicting results. 5.94) groups.
Background:GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP1RA) agonists have been shown to reduce cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Compared to the control group, the GLP1RA cohort had a higher baseline risk profile (BMI: 35.1 [SD Hispanic, 9.6% Asian, and 4.6% Hispanic, 9.6%
DM, diabetes mellitus; HTN, hypertension; LV, left ventricular; NP, natriuretic peptide; PCWP, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure; RV, right ventricular; SV, stroke volume. of patients had BMI ≥30 kg/m 2. Strain measurements in all four chambers were maintained as BMI increased. Overall, 60.9%
BACKGROUND:This study aimed to develop a risk-scoring model for hypertension among Africans.METHODS:In this study, 4413 stroke-free controls were used to develop the risk-scoring model for hypertension. Hypertension, Volume 80, Issue 12 , Page 2581-2590, December 1, 2023. Logistic regression models were applied to 13 risk factors.
Falling into the class of obesity with a BMI of greater than 30 makes this more likely, but so also does having excess visceral fat deposition with significant metabolic consequences at a BMI less than 30. The distinction here is the metabolic consequences of excess fat causing a health risk rather than focusing on the BMI cutoff.

Less frequent use was also associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events.
Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) has approved an additional indication for Wegovy ( semaglutide ) to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events such as death, heart attack, or stroke in adults with known heart disease and with either obesity or overweight along with a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity.
Objective While greater body mass index (BMI) is associated with increased risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF), the impact of BMI on outcomes in newly diagnosed AF is unclear. The study population comprised 40 482 participants: 703 underweight (BMI <18.5 kg/m 2 ), 13 095 normal (BMI=18.5–24.9
Short sleep duration was significantly associated with a higher risk of developing hypertension after adjusting for demographic and cardiovascular risk factors, including age, sex, education, BMI, blood pressure, smoking status etc. Sleep apnea has been tied to higher rates of high blood pressure, stroke and coronary artery disease.

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP221-ATP221, February 1, 2024. Body mass index (BMI) and diabetes mellitus are independent risk factors for ICAS. Hypertension is an independent risk factor for incident lacunes and CMB, whereas WMH progression is primarily affected by BMI. years, 34.9% men), 8.5%
However, recent studies have observed that people below 40 are also experiencing heart attacks due to high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, and social and mental stress. Keeping your healthy weight as per your BMI will lessen the risks. Manage diabetes. Maintain a nutritious diet.

The primary endpoint was MACEs, which represented a composite event of all-cause death, stroke, systemic embolism, and massive hemorrhage.Results:The 2,182 patients were divided into two groups: LVEDD>60mm group (n=370) and LVEDD ≤60 mm group (n=1812). vs. 26.0%), Compared with the LVEDD ≤60 mm group.
CVD included stroke, congestive heart failure, coronary heart disease, and angina. Compared with participants without asthma, the prevalence of stroke in those with asthma was increased by 1.607 times; the prevalence of congestive heart failure was increased by 1.911 times.
