“…Previous studies that monitored cohorts of stroke survivors have reported that a substantial proportion of subjects, ranging from 36% to 57.6%, continued to experience activity limitations for several years after a stroke [4]. Furthermore, activity limitations are significantly more prevalent among individuals who have experienced a stroke compared with individuals without any chronic health conditions, as well as individuals with nonstroke-related chronic conditions [5,6].…”

We examined self-reported reasons for activity limitations among Korean community-dwelling stroke survivors, focusing on age and sex differences. Data from 1547 stroke survivors who participated in the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were analysed. The study outcomes were the self-reported reasons for activity limitations, encompassing general medical factors and stroke-related problems. These reasons were compared by age (<65 vs. ≥65 years) and sex using a complex-sample chi-square test. Stroke survivors reported different musculoskeletal, medical, and neurological problems as reasons for activity limitations, which differed by age and sex. Older stroke survivors reported more problems related to dementia, memory loss, auditory problems, back or neck problems, arthritis, or leg pain than younger survivors. Women reported more psychiatric problems, headaches or dizziness, back or neck problems, arthritis, gastrointestinal problems, and dental or oral problems than men. Older and female stroke survivors reported a higher mean number of reasons for activity limitations compared to younger and male survivors. Thus, a tailored approach considering age and sex is necessary to help stroke survivors with activity limitations in the Korean community. This study highlights the importance of considering demographic factors when designing interventions to improve their quality of life.

Objective: The aim of this study was to clarify the link between experiencing cerebrovascular diseases (strokes as an explicit example) and fear of falling (FOF) among middle-aged and older adults in Europe. Methods: Longitudinal data were used from wave 5 to wave 7 of the representative Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). Self-reported tools were used to quantify the key variables. Fear of falling was similarly assessed using a dichotomous yes or no question, “For the past six months at least, have you been bothered by any of the health conditions on this card”, with fear of falling being one of the options. It was adjusted for various sociodemographic and health-related factors. In particular, to account for unobserved heterogeneity, conditional fixed effect regressions (FE) were used. Accordingly, change in an individual’s FOF status over the included waves was analysed and correlated with the reported change of all the included time-varying independent variables within the same individual, including experiencing stroke or other cerebrovascular diseases. The final analytical sample equalled n = 22.071 observations. Results: Conditional logistic FE regressions showed that the onset of a stroke or other forms of cerebrovascular disease was not associated with an increased likelihood of experiencing fear of falling (OR = 1.25, p = 0.095). However, stratified by sex, such an association was present in men (OR = 1.79, p = 0.006), though not in women (OR = 0.94, p = 0.732). Conclusions: The onset of a stroke or other cerebrovascular diseases was associated with an increased likelihood of experiencing FOF in men but not women. Efforts are required to assist older men in avoiding FOF after the onset of stroke or other cerebrovascular pathologies.
