The longitudinal mediating effect of life-space mobility on the relationship between nutritional status and cognitive function in community-dwelling older stroke patients.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study aims to explore the causal relationship between nutritional status, life-space mobility (LSM), and cognitive function in community-dwelling older stroke patients, investigate the longitudinal mediating role of life-space mobility in the relationship between nutritional status and post-stroke cognitive function.

Methods

A total of 284d ischemic stroke patients aged ≥60 years were recruited from the neurology inpatient department of a tertiary hospital, with follow-up assessments conducted at 3-, 6-, and 9- months post-stroke. Mini Nutrition Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF) were used to assess nutritional status, the Life Space Assessment (LSA-C) was used to measure life-space mobility and the global cognitive function was assessed with the Mini Mental Stat
