Decreasing bloody supply to the brain will associated to brain dysfunction or ischemic stroke.
Most common ischemic stroke including acute one caused by patient that have cerebrovascular disease (dysfunction of blood vessels to supply to the brain), thrombosis including deep vein thrombosis which is caused by blood clot occur in most vein, any types of embolism (such as plague inside vessel, blood clot, fat droplets, embolism with contain bacteria, etc).

All above causes had strong connection to obesity.

Recent study showed that obesity, no matter all measurement, it’s consistently increasing risk of stroke. And no matter the people race!
The study itself stated how important controlling body weight which is help to prevent diabetes and high blood pressure, also risk of stroke.

The study lead by Hiroshi Yatsuya, M.D., Ph.D., and announced the study result when visiting associate professor in the Division of Epidemiology & Community Health at the School of Public Health, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis.

Dr. Yatsuya said, “Either blood pressure or diabetes mellitus alone could have eliminated significant associations between obesity measure quintles and ischemic stroke incidence.”

The analysis study involved 13,549 participants from ARIC (Atherosclerosis Risk in Community) who were recruited from 4 US communities aged 46-64 years (5930 men and 7619 women and 3694 blacks and 9855 whites).

The conclusion from the analysis study is there is linear relationship between stroke and obesity.
It’s showed about twice the stroke risk among patients in the highest BMI (body mass index) category compared with those in the lowest BMI.
For example, for BMI, the risk for patients in the highest BMI category was 1.4 to 2.1 times higher than those in the lowest BMI category (varying modestly by race and sex).
