Abstract
Introduction
Stroke (cerebrovascular accident) is the first cause of adult neurological disability in developing Countries.The presence of metabolic syndrome has been associated with an increased risk of stroke.
Metabolic syndrome is a constellation of cardiometabolic risk factors (hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidaemia, central
obesity). Thus Studying metabolic syndrome among the acute stroke patients will help to assess the risk of recurrent stroke and improve the quality of life of stroke patients.
Aims and Objectives
The aim of this study is to assess metabolic syndrome in acute stroke survivors.
Objectives
- Compare the prevalance of metabolic syndrome between ischaemic and haemorrhagic
- Compare metabolic syndrome between male and female stroke survivors
- Compare prevalence or frequencies of components of metabolic syndrome between ischaemic and haemorrhagic strokes.
- Determine the association between metabolic syndrome and stroke.
