Impact of Lifestyle Factors on Depression, Anxiety, and Functional Recovery in Ischemic Stroke Survivors in Bangladesh: A Cross-Sectional Study

Stroke is one of the major causes of death and disability both globally and in Bangladesh. Lifestyle traits are already known as a major indicator of healthy living and they might have relationships with post-stroke outcomes. A cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2021 to June 2024, involving 1052 ischemic stroke patients from eight different areas of Bangladesh. Data were collected through interviews and standardized tools like the Barthel Index for activities of daily living, and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 for psychological assessment.脑卒中（Stroke）是全球及孟加拉国范围内致死与致残的主要病因之一。生活方式特征已被确立为健康生活的重要衡量指标，且其或与脑卒中后转归存在关联。本研究于2021年1月至2024年6月开展一项横断面研究，纳入孟加拉国8个不同地区的1052例缺血性脑卒中（ischemic stroke）患者。研究通过访谈与标准化评估工具收集数据，其中包括用于日常生活活动能力评估的巴氏指数（Barthel Index），以及用于心理评估的患者健康问卷9项版（Patient Health Questionnaire-9）与广泛性焦虑障碍7项量表（Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7）。
