Description
Summary:In the article, "A prospective study of trends in anthropometric nutritional indices and the impact of adiposity among patients of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH)," Dr. Dhandapani et al., correlated adiposity (measured by triceps skin fold thickness) and somatic muscle breakdown (assessed by a fall in mid arm circumference) with clinical vasospasm and mortality after SAH. Higher non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, which seemed to have a positive correlation with ischemic stroke, offered a converse protective influence with regard to hemorrhagic stroke and SAH.
