Interaction between walkability and fine particulate matter on risk of ischemic stroke: A prospective cohort study in China
In this study, we recruited a total of 27,375 participants aged ≥40 years from Yinzhou District, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, China to investigate the associations of walkability and PM2.5 with risk of ischemic stroke. We used amenity categories and decay functions to evaluate walkability and high-spatiotemporal-resolution land-use regression models to assess PM2.5 concentrations. We used Cox proportional hazards regression models to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). During a median follow-up of 4.08 years, we identified a total of 637 incident cases of ischemic stroke in the entire cohort. ...

IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 3941: A Qualitative Study Exploring the Lives and Caring Practices of Young Carers of Stroke Survivors
This study investigated the life transformation of children when a parent returned home from hospital after a stroke. The study explored children’s experiences of taking on caring roles in partnership with their well parent and stroke survivors’ perceptions of the young carer roles. The study aimed to identify unmet support needs in order to inform future service provision. Semi-structured interviews were conducted separately with stroke survivors (n = 7) (age range 41–60 years, mean 50.6) and their young carers (n = 11) (age range 11–20 years, mean 16). Interviews we...

The association of noise exposure with stroke incidence and mortality: A systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of cohort studies
CONCLUSIONS: The current findings provide further evidence of a dose-response relationship between exposure to noise and the risk of stroke incidence and mortality. Additionally, we update and fill a knowledge gap that the statistically significant increase in stroke incidence when noise decibels are >65 dB(A).PMID:36058275 | DOI:10.1016/j.envres.2022.114249

IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 11116: Addressing Uncertainty in Informal Familial Caregivers of Stroke Survivors: A Systematic Meta-Ethnography
Conclusions: The uncertainty faced by informal familial caregivers of stroke survivors is pervasive and changes across time. Uncertainty reduction and tolerance interventions can be used to build upon caregiver strengths and promote preparedness across the caregiving trajectory.

IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 13578: Differences in Race Characteristics between World-Class Individual-Medley and Stroke-Specialist Swimmers
ter Born
The purpose of the present study was to investigate differences between world-class individual medley (IM) swimmers and stroke-specialists using race analyses. A total of eighty 200 m races (8 finalists × 2 sexes × 5 events) at the 2021 European long-course swimming championships were analysed. Eight digital video cameras recorded the races, and the video footage was manually analysed to obtain underwater distance, underwater time, and underwater speed, as well as clean-swimming speed, stroke rate, and distance per stroke. Each lap of the IM races was compared with the first, second...

IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 13861: Stroke and TIA Survivors & rsquo; Perceptions of the COVID-19 Vaccine and Influences on Its Uptake: Cross Sectional Survey
Conclusion: Despite high uptake of the first vaccine, some people with stroke and TIA have legitimate concerns and information needs that should be addressed. Our findings can be used to identify targets for behaviour change to improve vaccine uptake specific to stroke/TIA patients.

IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 13848: Life and Leisure Activities following Stroke or Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA): An Observational, Multi-Centre, 6-Month Follow-Up Study
Conclusions: Some groups experienced a greater reduction in activities than others—notably older participants, female participants, and those living in a low socioeconomic area. Registration: researchregistry4607. Strengths and limitations of this study: 1. This is the largest-ever study to survey life and leisure activity engagement following stroke/TIA. 2. Survey responses were self-reported retrospectively and, therefore, may have been misreported, or misremembered. 3. Despite the large cohort, there were few participants, and so respondents, from ethnic minority groups.

IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 16345: Post-Stroke Experiences and Rehabilitation Needs of Community-Dwelling Chinese Stroke Survivors: A Qualitative Study
i Liang
Stroke survivors encounter significant limitations in daily life activities and face increased risk of health complications such as stroke recurrence. Considering the escalating demand for personalised community rehabilitation services, this qualitative study was conducted to understand the current recovery experiences, needs, and expectations of community-dwelling stroke survivors. Fifty stroke survivors were recruited from two tertiary teaching hospitals and community centres in two provinces in mainland China. Semi-structured interviews were carried out, and participants were asked to describe their experien...

IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 906: Somatosensory Impairment and Chronic Pain Following Stroke: An Observational Study
Conclusions: The results point to a new characteristic of chronic pain in strokes, regardless of nature or region of the pain experienced, and raises the potential of somatosensory impairment being a rehabilitation target to improve pain-related outcomes for stroke survivors.

Combined effects of road traffic noise and ambient air pollution in relation to risk for stroke?
In conclusion, in mutually adjusted models road traffic noise and not air pollution was associated ischemic stroke, while only air pollution affected risk for fatal strokes. There were indications of combined effects.
