“…In terms of stroke recurrence risk, compared with normal‐weight patients, underweight patients [relative risk (RR) = 1.59, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.33–1.90, I2 = 0%, p = 0.444] had a higher recurrence risk of stroke, whereas overweight (RR = 0.91, 95% CI 0.86–0.96, I2 = 0%, p = 0.454) and obese patients (RR = 0.89, 95% CI 0.84–0.94, I2 = 13.1%, p = 0.330) had a lower recurrence risk of stroke. The results of the linear trend show that for every unit increase in BMI, the recurrence risk of stroke decreases by 2% (RR = 0.98, 95% CI 0.96–0.99, p < 0.001). …”
