From: Effects of body mass index on the immune response within the first days after major stroke in humans
Higher BMI ratios are associated with CD16dimCD62L− granulocytes but with reduced levels of CD16+CD62L− granulocytes and CD14+CD16+ monocytes
Stroke patients were analyzed and compared to healthy controls on the day of admission (day 0) and on days 1, 3, and 5. Multiple regression analysis was performed to evaluate the influence of BMI on CD16dimCD62L− and CD16+CD62L− granulocytes as well as on CD14+CD16+ monocytes independent of sex, age, stroke treatment, days after stroke and stroke volume. BMI ratios: For better visualization, we retransformed β-coefficients to percentage change/1 standard deviation BMI. Therefore, the figures represent significant alterations over the study period, whereby the three figure panels represent the results for BMI values corresponding to -1 SD, the mean, and + 1 SD
