I'm quite sure my weight barely changed from 25 until my stroke at age 50, my activity level was quite high resulting in excellent cardiovascular fitness, level of an athlete. Once again crapola prevention research rather than rehab recovery research. Damn, we really do need survivors in charge to do the right rehab research.
Change in body weight and long-term risk of stroke and death in healthy men
Stroke — Prestgaard E, Mariampillai J, Engeseth K, et al. | April 10, 2020
Researchers intended to determine if there is a connections between
early- and mid-life weight change and risks of stroke and death during
long-term follow-up of healthy men. Participants in the study were
healthy men (aged 40 to 59 years) and conducted a cardiovascular
examination at baseline and again at 7 years. Data were gathered on
weight change since the age of 25 (early-life weight change) and
measured weight change from baseline to the visit at 7 years (mid-life
weight change). Of the 2,014 candidates, 2,014 (100%) had data on
early-life weight change and were followed for a median of 30.1 years,
on the other hand, 1,403 had data on mid-life weight change and were
followed for a median of 24.6 years. According to
findings, early but not mid-life weight increases appear to be associated with an increased long-term risk of stroke in healthy men.
If these findings can be confirmed, efforts should target the younger population to prevent weight gains.
