Rest-activity rhythm characteristics associated with depression symptoms in stroke survivors

CONCLUSIONS: Stroke survivors with higher levels of RAR fragmentation were more likely to have depression symptoms in both samples. These findings have implications, given prior studies in general samples linking RAR fragmentation with future depression and dementia risk. Research is needed to establish the potential consequences, mechanisms, and modifiability of RAR fragmentation in stroke survivors.PMID:36736806 | DOI:10.1016/j.apmr.2023.01.013
