With your good chance of dementia post stroke it is your doctor's responsibility to get you recovered enough to do the exercise and give you protocols for the other items. PROTOCOLS not useless guidelines! If they are not EXACT, they are useless and tell your doctor to stop giving you crapola guidelines.
Your risks of dementia, has your doctor told you of this?
1. A documented 33% dementia chance post-stroke from an Australian study? May 2012.
2. Then this study came out and seems to have a range from 17-66%. December 2013.`
3. A 20% chance in this research. July 2013.
4. Dementia Risk Doubled in Patients Following Stroke September 2018
Where are the protocols to prevent your dementia?
The latest here:
Healthy Lifestyle Associated With More Years Without Alzheimer’s Dementia
A healthy lifestyle was associated with a longer life expectancy among both men and women, and a longer proportion of their remaining years without Alzheimer’s dementia, according to a study published in BMJ.
The Chicago Health and Aging Project examined the effects of a healthy lifestyle among 2,449 men and women aged 65 years and older. A healthy lifestyle score was developed based on 5 modifiable lifestyle factors: a diet for brain health (Mediterranean-DASH Diet Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay-MIND diet score in upper 40% of cohort distribution)(This is not a protocol, demand your doctor give you EXACT amounts and foods to eat!), late life cognitive activities (composite score in upper 40%), moderate or vigorous physical activity (≥150 min/week), no smoking, and light to moderate alcohol consumption (women 1-15 g/day; men 1-30 g/day)(But no amount of alcohol is good for you, don't you read research?).
Results showed that women with 4 or 5 healthy factors had a life expectancy of 24.2 years and lived 3.1 years longer than women aged 65 with zero or 1 healthy factor (life expectancy 21.1 years). Of the total life expectancy at age 65, women with 4 or 5 healthy factors spent 10.8% (2.6 years) of their remaining years with Alzheimer’s dementia, whereas women with zero or 1 healthy factor spent 19.3% (4.1 years) with the disease.
Life expectancy for women aged 65 without Alzheimer’s dementia and 4 or 5 healthy factors was 21.5 years, and for those with zero or 1 healthy factor it was 17.0 years.
Men aged 65 with 4 or 5 healthy factors had a total life expectancy of 23.1 years, which was 5.7 years longer than men aged 65 with zero or 1 healthy factor (life expectancy 17.4 years). Of the total life expectancy at age 65, men with 4 or 5 healthy factors spent 6.1% (1.4 years) of their remaining years with Alzheimer’s dementia, and those with zero or 1 healthy factor spent 12% (2.1 years) with the disease. Life expectancy for men aged 65 without Alzheimer’s dementia and 4 or 5 healthy factors was 21.7 years, and for those with zero or 1 healthy factor life expectancy was 15.3 years.
“A healthy lifestyle was associated with a longer life expectancy among men and women, and they lived a larger proportion of their remaining years without Alzheimer’s dementia,” wrote Klodian Dhana, Rush Institute for Healthy Aging, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois, and colleagues. “The life expectancy estimates might help health professionals, policy makers, and stakeholders to plan future healthcare services, costs, and needs.”
