Association of Neighborhood Recreation Centers and Poststroke Outcomes in a Population-Based Cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Higher neighborhood socioeconomic status has been favorably associated with stroke outcomes. This may be due to these areas having more beneficial resources such as recreational centers. We aimed to determine if neighborhood density of recreation centers is favorably associated with stroke outcomes.

Methods

We conducted analyses of data from the Brain Attack Surveillance in Corpus Christi project, a cohort of stroke survivors ≥45 years of age residing in Nueces County, TX (2009-2020). We included non-Hispanic White and Mexican American incident stroke survivors, who were not institutionalized prestroke and completed baseline and follow-up assessments (N=1392). We calculated the density of fitness and recreational sports centers within their residential census trac
