Effects of Undernutrition and Obesity on Functional and Nutritional Outcomes After Ischaemic Stroke: A Hospital‐Based Study

Undernutrition and obesity independently predict worse functional recovery and nutritional outcomes post-stroke, with undernutrition additionally compromising food intake. The so-called obesity paradox was not sustained after mutual adjustment. Findings underscore the importance of: (1) early nutritional screening, (2) intensified support for undernourished patients and (3) tailored rehabilitation strategies for obese individuals.
