Differential effects of body mass index on domain-specific cognitive outcomes after stroke

Abstract Although the obesity paradox is an important modifiable factor in cardiovascular diseases, little research has been conducted to determine how it affects post-stroke cognitive function. We aimed to investigate the association between body mass index (BMI) and domain-specific cognitive outco...
