A case-control study was conducted in southern China to investigate the relationship between life-long physical activity involvement and the risk of ischemic stroke. Information on life-long physical activity exposure and other lifestyle characteristics was obtained from 374 incident stroke patients and 464 hospital-based controls using a validated and reliable questionnaire. Logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the association between life-long physical activity involvement and the ischemic stroke risk. The control subjects reported more involvement in physical activity over the life course than the stroke patients (). The risk of ischemic stroke was inversely associated with life-long physical activity exposure, with adjusted odds ratio 0.39 (95% confidence interval 0.25 to 0.59) for participants who had always been involved relative to those who have never been much involved. The dose-response relationship was also significant (). Therefore, being active life long should be encouraged to prevent this major chronic disease.

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Stroke risk scores (CHADS<sub>2</sub> and CHA<sub>2</sub>DS<sub>2</sub>-VASc) not only predict the risk of stroke in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients, but have also been associated with prognosis after stroke. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between stroke risk scores and early neurological deterioration (END) in ischemic stroke patients with AF. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We included consecutive ischemic stroke patients with AF admitted between January 2013 and December 2015. CHADS<sub>2</sub> and CHA<sub>2</sub>DS<sub>2</sub>-VASc scores were calculated using the established scoring system. END was defined as an increase ≥2 on the total National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score or ≥1 on the motor NIHSS score within the first 72 h of admission. <b><i>Results:</i></b> A total of 2,099 ischemic stroke patients with AF were included. In multivariable analysis, CHA<sub>2</sub>DS<sub>2</sub>-VASc score (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.17, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.04–1.31) was significantly associated with END after adjusting for confounders. Initial NIHSS score, use of anticoagulants, and intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAS) were also found to be closely associated with END, independent of the CHA<sub>2</sub>DS<sub>2</sub>-VASc score. Multivariable analysis stratified by the presence of ICAS demonstrated that both CHA<sub>2</sub>DS<sub>2</sub>-VASc (aOR = 1.20, 95% CI = 1.04–1.38) and CHADS<sub>2</sub> scores (aOR = 1.24, 95% CI = 1.01–1.52) were closely related to END in only patients with ICAS. In patients without ICAS, neither of the risk scores were associated with END. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> High CHA<sub>2</sub>DS<sub>2</sub>-VASc score was associated with END in ischemic stroke patients with AF. This close relationship is more pronounced in patients with ICAS.

Background: Socioeconomic status (SES) is widely recognized as an area of inequity that affects health outcomes. However, social determinants of health are less frequently measured in longitudinal studies of acute stroke patients. The relationship of SES on disability 3-months post-stroke is unknown. Methods: We analyzed ischemic stroke patients in the AVAIL registry who were enrolled at 98 hospitals participating in Get With The Guidelines-Stroke. Patients who died (n=64) or did not complete a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 3-months (n=154) were excluded. Multivariable logistic regression was used to examine the relationship of SES (defined by level of education, work status, and perceived adequacy of household income to meet needs) and disability (mRS scores 3-5). Results: Among the 2092 stroke patients who met eligibility criteria, the mean age was 65.5 ± 13.7, 44.2% were female, and 82.7% were White. Fifty seven percent had a high school or less education, 11.4% were not working post-stroke and were home not by choice, and 25.7% were without an adequate household income. A third of the sample had some level of disability at 3-months (34.6% mRS 3-5). Those with disability were more likely to be older, non-White, female, single, less educated, have inadequate income, and were home not by choice. In the multivariable analysis, lower education, inadequate income, and being home but not by choice (compared with those who returned to work) were independently associated with disability (p<0.01; Table ). Conclusion: In this national cohort of stroke survivors, socioeconomic status as measured by level of education, work status, and income were independently associated with post-stroke disability.

Background: Ischemic stroke that occurs at the age of less than 45 years accounts for about 5 until 10 percent of the total stroke. This is influenced by changes in the life-style of modern society, such as changes in the pattern of food consumption, lazy to move, and smoking habits. This study aims to examine the effect of life-style on ischemic stroke at less than 45 years old people.Method: This study uses observational method with design of cases and controls. The samples are 86 observations consisting of 43 cases and 43 controls. Cases are patients with ischemic stroke less than 45 years of age and controls are non-stroke patients of neurology who are less than 45 years old.Results: The results show that the habit of consuming food containing high fat (p=0,032, OR=3,744, 95% CI=1,124-12,468) and smoking habit (p=0,019, OR=3.859, 95% CI=1,250-11,911) affect the occurrence of ischemic stroke at age less than 45 years. However, the habit of consuming red meat, consuming foods containing high salt, consuming drugs, and lack of physical activity do not affect the occurrence of ischemic stroke at age less than 45 years.Conclusion: The habits of consuming food containing high fat and smoking affect theoccurrence of ischemic stroke at age less than 45 years after hypertension, heart disease, and diabetes mellitus are controlled.

Objective. It was examined whether PTH and 25-dihydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels, together or separately, are indicators of the risk of stroke. Materials and Methods. This prospective study was performed at two centers. In the study, 100 patients diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke and 100 control individuals in the same age range were examined. In addition to neurological examination, cranial imaging, extensive routine blood chemistry, PTH, and 25(OH)D levels were evaluated in all cases. Stroke risk factors were determined. Logistic regression was used for statistical analysis. Results. A total of 60 patients and 79 control individuals were included in the study. Different estimation models were designed in order to examine the relationship between PTH and 25(OH)D levels with stroke. According to modeling results, it was determined that the most effective predictor for risk of stroke was 25(OH)D levels, followed by hypertension and PTH levels, respectively. Conclusion. PTH and 25(OH)D levels together can make important contributions to determination of stroke risk, and further investigations are needed to understand this relationship more fully.

Introduction: Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and post-stroke depression (PSD) are risk factors for stroke morbidity and mortality. EDS is commonly seen after stroke, but is not routinely assessed after stroke. EDS may be related to sleep disordered breathing (SDB) including obstructive and central sleep apneas, but can also occur in the absence of SDB. The relationship between EDS and PSD is not well understood. Hypothesis: We sought to assess the association between EDS and PSD. We hypothesized that patients with EDS are more likely to demonstrate symptoms of moderate to severe depression compared to patients without EDS. Methods: We identified ischemic stroke patients from the outpatient clinic registry (06/2014 - 10/2015). We screened for depressive symptoms using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9; range 0-27, higher worse), and for EDS using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS; range 0-24, higher worse). Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to evaluate association between EDS and PHQ-9 (moderate to severe depression = PHQ-9 > 9). Regression analysis was also used to evaluate association between EDS and symptoms included in the PHQ-9. Results: Among 200 ischemic stroke patients, 166 completed ESS and PHQ-9 within 90 days of stroke occurrence. Mean age was 61.5 and 54.8% were male. EDS (ESS>9) and moderate to severe depression were each present in 28.9% of patients. Patients with EDS had 3.5 times odds of moderate to severe depression compared to patients without EDS (table 1). Moreover, EDS was associated with higher odds of anhedonia, impaired mood, sleep disturbance, low energy, poor appetite, and impaired concentration (table 1). Conclusion: The presence of EDS is associated with moderate to severe depression in stroke survivors. This is not related solely to SDB symptoms. Patients with fatigue and EDS should be screened for depression. Future studies are also needed to explore the role that SDB plays in this relationship.
