Physical Activity Behavior and Its Association With Global Cognitive Function Three Months After Stroke: The Nor-COAST Study†.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The purposes of this study were to determine the association between physical activity (PA) behavior and global cognitive function 3 months after stroke and to explore the role of physical capacity as a mediating factor.

Methods

Participants with stroke were successively recruited at 5 different hospitals in Norway. PA was measured using accelerometers, with a follow-up period of 7 consecutive days, and global cognitive function was assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). The general pattern of PA and the percentage of participants adhering to World Health Organization PA recommendations (at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic PA per week) were investigated using descriptive statistics. Multiple regression and mediator analyses were use
