Poor adiposities are risk factors for major morbidities, but reports on how these relate with gait function of stroke patients undergoing rehabilitation is sparse and need further investigation. A convenience sample of 94 ambulatory stroke survivors and 94 matched apparently healthy individuals were assessed for adiposity markers (body mass index, waist circumference, thigh girth, waist-hip ratio, and percent body fat) and gait parameters (cadence, step length, stride length, stride width, gait velocity, and cycle). Mean age of the stroke and apparently healthy participants were 57±5.2 years and 56.9±4.8 years, respectively. We found significant (p<0.05) relationships between waist circumference and each of gait cycle (r=0.67) namely, cadence (r=−0.68), stride length (−0.62), step length (−0.61), and gait velocity (−0.75). Fairly similar correlations existed between body mass index, waist-hip ratio, percent body fat, thigh girth, and each of gait parameters, with only the thigh girth significantly correlating with stride width (r=0.79). Obesity more than triples the odds of low gait velocities (odds ratio: 3.28; 95% confidence interval: 1.60–6.74). Findings provide clinicians with likely influence of adiposities on gait parameters of stroke patients. This may inform treatment decision and help to prioritize interventions through adiposity management for stroke patients undergoing rehabilitation
