“…A similar study found the mean BMI was 27.9±4.1 kg/m 2 in group I and 28.3±4.8 kg/m 2 in group II 14 . In another study was observed the mean BMI was 29.5±3.6 kg/m 2 and 27.2±1.8 kg/m 2 in group I and group II respectively 15 . They have stated that the higher BMI range maybe due to their body surface area in their study patients.…”

“…Similarly, the mean diastolic BP was found 98.0±8.0 mmHg in group I and 101.0±8 mmHg in group II, which are compatible with the current study. On the other hand, a recent study showed the mean systolic BP was 137±13 mmHg and 128±11 mmHg in group I and group II respectively 15 . The mean diastolic BP was 78.6±9.9 mmHg in group I and 75.6±7 mmHg in group II, which are compatible with the current study.…”

Background: Epidemiologic studies have reported that microalbuminuria is a risk factor for stroke in men and a limited case control study found that the highest quintile of microalbuminuria values was associated with 13 fold increased risk for stroke. The goal of this study is designed to determine its relationship to risk factors for ischemic stroke. Materials and Methods: It was a prospective observational study conducted in the Department of Neurology, Sir Salimullah Medical College Mitford Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Fifty consecutive patients with ischemic stroke with at least two risk factors who fulfilled the inclusion criteria of case were confirmed by CT or MRI. Equal number of controls same ages without stroke who had at least two risk factors were compared with the case group. The patients were assessed clinically with structured questionnaire including blood pressure, height and weight, and monitoring blood glucose and microalbuminuria. Results: Microalbuminuria was found 58.0% in patients with ischemic stroke. Patients who had diabetes mellitus will have 13.86 times the risk for developing microalbuminuria (p<0.05). Patients who had HTN will have 4.19 times the risk for developing microalbuminuria (p<0.05) and BMI (³23 kg/m 2 ) will have 4.24 times the risk for developing microalbuminuria with (p<0.05). Whereas TIA, IHD, dyslipidemia, smoking and positive family history were not significantly (P>0.05) associated with microalbuminuria in patients with ischemic stroke. Conclusion: The findings of this study show that diabetes is the factor most closely associated with microalbuminuria followed by HTN and BMI³23 kg/m 2 with statistically significance in patients with ischemic stroke.
