Trajectory of Cognitive Decline Before and After Stroke in 14 Population Cohorts.

Objective

To map the trajectory of cognitive function before any stroke and after stroke in global cognition and in 4 cognitive domains, as well as to compare the cognitive trajectory prestroke in stroke survivors with the trajectory of individuals without incident stroke over follow-up.
