So that the distribution, relationship, and prediction with the hematoma volume of patients with intracerebral hemorrhagic (ICH) stroke are interesting to study.Method: An analytic cross-sectional study of subjects with ICH stroke at Prof. Dr. R.D Kandou General Hospital, Manado, Indonesia who met research criteria consecutively measured the thickness of body skinfolds then converted to %BF and estimated hematoma volume using the ellipse method was examined by linear regression analysis.Result: A total of 165 samples (87 men) with a mean age of 53 years. 65% sample had %BF >25% (median 27.8%). >50% men had %BF >25%, 60% women had %BF >30% (p<0.001). The median ICH stroke hematoma volume was 20.5mL (IQR 8.6−43.2mL). There is an increase in the volume of ICH stroke hematoma, especially in men with %BF >30%. In this group, each increase in %BF would increase the volume of ICH stroke hematoma by 22.34mL (95% CI 5.15−39.52mL; p=0.011).Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between %BF assessed with skinfold thickness and the volume of ICH stroke hematoma in this study, volume increase was evident especially in men with %BF >30%.
