Body Mass Index in Mid-Life Is Associated With a First Stroke in Men, A Prospective Population Study Over 28 Years
Stroke 35:2764-2769, Jood,K.,et al, 2004
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In this prospective population-based study of men, increased BMI in mid-life was associated with an increased risk for total, ischemic, and unspecified stroke, but not with hemorrhagic stroke. The result supports the role of mid-life BMI as a risk factor for stroke later in life and suggests a differentiated effect on stroke subtypes.
