The Relationship Between Environmental Exposures and Post-Stroke Physical Activity.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Post-stroke physical activity has widespread health benefits. Environmental exposures may shape post-stroke physical activity behavior. This study investigates the relationships between environmental exposures and post-stroke physical activity.

Methods

Stroke survivors (n=374) from a cohort of Black and White adults with post-stroke accelerometer data (2009-2013) were eligible for this study. Participants' home addresses were linked with secondary data to capture environmental characteristics, including annual density of neighborhood resources (e.g., parks, physical activity facilities, and intellectual stimulation destinations), 2010 neighborhood SES, 2010 neighborhood crime, and daily information on extremely cold days. Post-stroke light physical activity and
