Clinical evaluation of AIS patients. The z-score of body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI) and arm span of AIS patients were compared against the normal population by one sample Student’s t-test using zero as the reference value.

	AIS patients (n = 38) mean ± SD †	z-score mean ± SD	p-value
BW (kg)	46.46 ± 6.36	−0.15 ± 0.91	0.29
BMI	18.37 ± 2.16	−0.45 ± 0.15	<0.01 *
Arm Span (cm)	158.96 ± 6.13	0.41 ± 0.83	<0.01 *

All data were expressed as the mean ± SD,

^*p < 0.01.

^†The mean values were not adjusted for age.
