n inverse correlation with stroke severity measured by NIHSS score.[ 31 ] In TEMPiS trial, the risk of stroke recurrence at 30 months after the index event (ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, TIA) in obese patients tended to be lower than in those with underweight or normal weight, but the differences did not reach statistical significance (3.7%, 9.7% and 7.9%, respectively; p = 0.178).[ 30 ] The trial also investigated non-fatal and functional outcomes which were worst in underweight patients and improved by increasing BMI.[ 30 ] Thus, obese patients had a lower risk of institutional care and dependency than patients with normal weight or underweight.
