Yes, we have known of cognitive decline from stroke for decades. You have uselessly told us what we already know. And even more useless didn't provide a solution to prevent that cognitive decline.
The importance of stroke as a risk factor of cognitive decline in community dwelling older and oldest peoples: The SONIC study
BMC Geriatrics — Srithumsuk W, Kabayama M, Gondo Y, et al. | January 28, 2020
Researchers conducted a longitudinal study
with a 3-year follow-up in Japan including 1,333 community-dwelling
older and oldest people (70 years old = 675, 80 years old = 589, and
90 years old = 69) in order to determine the value of stroke as a risk
factor of cognitive decline during 3 years in these people. As per the
fit of the hypothesized model by multiple logistic regression, important
risk factors are a history of stroke, advanced age, and greater
Japanese version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment score at the
baseline, while protective factors are the presence of dyslipidemia and a
higher educational level that are significantly associated with
cognitive decline during the 3-year follow-up. They recommend
considering these factors when searching for creative solutions to limit
cognitive decline after stroke in community-dwelling older and oldest
people.
