Incidence and Risk Factors for Stroke Among 14 European Countries.
CONCLUSION: The highest stroke incidence rates were found in Denmark, Poland, and Sweden; these incidence rates were more than double that of Spain. Stroke was mostly associated with elderly people (age, ≥65 years) in Sweden, France, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, and Greece. In addition, stroke incidence was high among young males (age, <65 years) in Italy and elderly males in Germany and Switzerland. A negative association was found between stroke and vigorous exercise for younger people in Sweden and elderly people in Poland, whereas moderate exercise was significantly associated with stroke only for elderly Belg...

Positive effects of intermittent fasting in ischemic stroke.
Abstract Intermittent fasting (IF) is a dietary protocol where energy restriction is induced by alternate periods of ad libitum feeding and fasting. Prophylactic intermittent fasting has been shown to extend lifespan and attenuate the progress and severity of age-related diseases such as cardiovascular (e.g. stroke and myocardial infarction), neurodegenerative (e.g. Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease) and cancerous diseases in animal models. Stroke is the second leading cause of death, and lifestyle risk factors such as obesity and physical inactivity have been associated with elevated risks of stroke in ...

Cognitive Deficits in Chronic Stroke Patients: Neuropsychological Assessment, Depression, and Self-Reports
Conclusion: Cognitive impairment occurs frequently even in patients in a chronic phase after stroke and predicts symptoms of depression. Using the Stroke Impact Scale, clinicians should be aware of low sensitivity of self-reported cognitive function.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2017;7:283 –296

Nonpharmacological Treatments for Post-Stroke Depression: An Integrative Review of the Literature
Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death and greatest cause of disability worldwide (Mozaffarian et al., 2016). With advancements in stroke treatments, coupled with the overall aging of the U.S. population, there are increasing numbers of stroke survivors living with the effects of stroke. These trends have led to more stroke survivors being discharged to home settings who are in need of rehabilitation and interventions to cope with the physical and emotional impact of stroke. Depression is a common consequence of stroke that causes increased morbidity and mortality (Williams, 2005).
