Does your neighborhood affect your stroke recovery?
Stroke survivors who live in neighborhoods with lower socioeconomic status—areas with lower household income, education levels and occupational status—may have worse recovery three months after a stroke than people who live in neighborhoods with higher socioeconomic status, according to a study published in the April 28, 2021, online issue of Neurology. The findings applied to people with moderate to severe strokes, not people with mild strokes.
