Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study endeavors to augment comprehension of the association between breastfeeding and maternal weight within Asian populations. METHODS Data were obtained from the comprehensive 2011 research titled "Risk Evaluation of Cancers in Chinese Diabetic Individuals (REACTION): a longitudinal analysis," focusing specifically on postmenopausal women residing in the metropolitan precincts of Guiyang. It presents a cross-sectional study involving 5,987 parous postmenopausal women, aged 60.1 ± 6.9 years, who underwent assessments of body mass index and waist-to-height ratio. The probability of excessive weight or obesity was evaluated in relation to the aggregate duration of breastfeeding, using single-factor and multivariate logistic regression analyses. RESULTS Following multiple adjustments for different confounders, the odds ratios (ORs) demonstrated that women who had borne a single child and breastfed for more than 12 months exhibited an increased prevalence of excessive weight (body mass index ≥24 kg/m 2 ) in contrast to those who abstained from breastfeeding (model I: OR, 1.481; 95% confidence interval, 1.124-1.952; P = 0.005; model II: OR, 1.471; 95% confidence interval, 1.113-1.944; P = 0.007). Conversely, among the subset of women who had given birth to two or more children, no noteworthy associations emerged between breastfeeding duration and the propensity for excessive weight or obesity (all models). CONCLUSION In the Asian population, the duration of breastfeeding does not appear to be necessarily linked to the prevalence of overweight or obesity in postmenopausal women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is associated with an increased prevalence of vascular risk factors and incidence of stroke. As such weight loss is recommended for patients living with obesity in the secondary prevention of stroke. Few studies, however, have examined the stages and processes of change for weight loss in stroke patients living with obesity. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the stages and processes of change for weight loss in patients living with obesity who have had a recent stroke or TIA. METHODS Using a validated questionnaire, we assessed each patient's stage of behavioral change according to the Transtheoretical Model (precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action and maintenance). We also examined four processes of behavioral change, which quantify activities and experiences that patients undergo on the way to behavioral change: emotional re-evaluation (EMR), weight management action (WMA), weight consequence evaluation (WCE), and supporting relationships (SR). Processes scores were compared between patients in the action and maintenance stages and those in the precontemplation, contemplation and preparation stages. RESULTS Out of 49 patients who provided informed consent, 44 met the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Of these 44 patients, 6 (14%) were in the precontemplation stage of change, 7 (16%) were in contemplation, 2 (5%) were in preparation, 13 (30%) were in action, and 16 (36%) were in maintenance. Those in the action and maintenance stages accounted for the majority of participants (n=29, 66%). Patients in the action and maintenance stages (N=29) had higher EMR scores (mean 79, SD 13 vs mean 68, SD 19, t=2.0, p=0.03) and WMA scores (mean 69, SD 13 vs mean 59, SD 19, t=2.0, p=0.03) as compared to those in the precontemplation, contemplation and preparation stages (N=15). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that without counseling or specific intervention, approximately two-thirds of stroke/TIA patients living with obesity are in the action or maintenance stage of behavior change with respect to weight loss and therefore more likely to succeed in intensive lifestyle-based interventions targeted towards weight loss. Patients who score higher in EMR and WMA are more likely to be in the action or maintenance stage of change.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Whether weight loss during hospitalization is associated with improvement in activities of daily living (ADL) in overweight and obese stroke patients remains unclear. This study investigated the association between decreases in body mass index (BMI), fat-free mass (FFM), and fat mass (FM) and ADL improvement. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this cross-sectional study, we analyzed data of patients admitted to acute care hospitals with stroke. Patients were classified into two groups based on their change in BMI during their hospital stay (i.e. decreased or nondecreased group). To control and adjust for patient characteristics and confounders, we created an inverse probability-weighted (IPW) model using propensity scoring, which was used to compare the Functional Independence Measure Motor (FIM-M) efficacy between the two groups. We also compared FFM and FM between admission and discharge in each group. RESULTS A total of 556 patients were analyzed, among whom 391 (70.3%) had a decrease in BMI and 165 (29.7%) had a nondecrease. After IPW adjustment, efficiency of FIM-M was significantly higher in the nondecreased group as compared to that in the decreased group (median: 0.44 vs. 0.29, P < 0.001). FFM and FM were significantly decreased from admission to discharge in the decreased group, but there was no significanct difference observed in the nondecreased group. Preserving BMI during hospitalization was associated with a positive improvement in ADL in overweight and obese stroke patients undergoing rehabilitation. CONCLUSIONS Risks and benefits of weight loss should be balanced in nutritional care and rehabilitation for overweight and obese stroke patients.

Abstract
Primary care teams provide the majority of poststroke care. When optimally configured, these teams provide patient-centered care to prevent recurrent stroke, maximize function, prevent late complications, and optimize quality of life. Patient-centered primary care after stroke begins with establishing the foundation for poststroke management while engaging caregivers and family members in support of the patient. Screening for complications (eg, depression, cognitive impairment, and fall risk) and unmet needs is both a short-term and long-term component of poststroke care. Patients with ongoing functional impairments may benefit from referral to appropriate services. Ongoing care consists of managing risk factors such as high blood pressure, atrial fibrillation, diabetes, carotid stenosis, and dyslipidemia. Recommendations to reduce risk of recurrent stroke also include lifestyle modifications such as healthy diet and exercise. At the system level, primary care practices can use quality improvement strategies and available resources to enhance the delivery of evidence-based care and optimize outcomes.

Abstract
Stroke, a lethal neurological disease, accounts for a grave economic burden on society. Despite extensive basic and clinical studies on stroke prevention, a precise effective treatment approach for stroke at this stage remains unavailable. The majority of our body's gut microbiota plays a vital role in food digestion, immune regulation, and nervous system development, which is highly associated with the development of some diseases. Multiple clinical studies have documented variation in the composition of gut microbiota between stroke patients and healthy counterparts. Moreover, the intervention of intestinal symbiotic microorganisms via several mechanisms plays an active role in stroke prognosis. In the prevention and treatment of stroke, the gut microbiota gives off a seductive glow, this is a promising therapeutic target. This paper summarizes the current knowledge of stroke and gut microbiota, and systematically describes the possible mechanisms of interaction between stroke and gut microbiota, the relationship between stroke-related risk factors and gut microbiota, and the treatment of gut flora using microorganisms. Thus, it could valuably elucidate the correlation of gut microbiota with stroke incidence, providing stroke researchers with a new strategy for stroke prevention and treatment by regulating gut microbiota.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The relation between obesity and stroke recurrence is still under debate. In this study, we investigated whether initial obesity was associated with recurrent stroke and major cardiovascular events over a long period of time. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five-years follow-up data of the Ege Stroke Registry for stroke recurrence and cardiovascular events related to obesity were analyzed. Data include age, gender, stroke severity, neuroimaging studies, cardiovascular risk factors. Within the inclusion period, all of the included patients were followed until censoring (10th of December 2011) or readmission because of recurrent stroke, cardiovascular event or death, whichever came first. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis. Cox proportional hazard model was applied to identify predictors of stroke and all major vascular events. RESULTS Of 9285 eligible patients for evaluation, 5158 (56%) were male and 3068 (33%) with a prior stroke were obese at baseline. Among 2198 patients with recurrent stroke, 843 (38%) had obesity while 2229 (62%) had no obesity (HR, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.23-1.50; P<0.001). Overall major vascular events (recurrent stroke, cardiovascular events, and death) occurred in 1464 obese patients (48%) and in 2182 non-obese patients (35%) (HR, 1.69; 95%CI, 1.55-1.84). Cox hazard model showed that being obese was associated with increased recurrent stroke risk compared with those without obesity (HR, 0.85; 95%CI, 0.76-0.94; P<0.001), being obese was not associated with cardiovascular events (HR, 1.09; 95%CI, 0.95-1.26; P=0.22). CONCLUSIONS Our results showed that obesity is a significant risk factor for recurrent stroke, although obesity was not associated significantly with myocardial infarction and death after 5-years of first stroke. Further clinical goal-directed weight reduction outcome trials in this area will be critical to validate the most effective approaches and, ultimately, to guide policy is certainly needed.
