Obesity and Strokes

Just as smoking increases the risk of lung cancer, overweight significantly increases the risk of stroke. Excessive body fat is prone to inflammation and can be the two main causes of stroke: poor circulation and obstruction. The risk factors for stroke are:

  • Heart and blood vessel disease
  • High blood pressure
  • Smoking
  • Diabetes
  • Brain aneurysms or Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs)

Sex steroid hormones are associated with the metabolism, accumulation, and distribution of adipose tissue. Recent studies have shown that the presence of progesterone, estrogenic, and androgen receptors in adipose tissue has a direct effect. Sex steroid hormones act in adipose tissue through non-genome and genomic mechanisms.
