STROKE
Demographic variables including sex, age, education, medical history, marital status, and family history of stroke were collected from all participants by completing a general information questionnaire. Weight was measured with 0.1 kg accuracy, and height was measured with 0.1 cm accuracy. Waist circumference was measured in the standing position (at the shortest distance between the last rib and the iliac spine). Then, body mass index (BMI) was calculated by dividing weight (kg) by the square of height (cm).
