Retrospective analysis of the relationship between post-stroke fatigue and aphasia severity

Post-stroke fatigue, a sense of exhaustion that is not relieved by rest and affects physical, cognitive, and emotional functioning in daily life, affects approximately 25-85% of stroke survivors.1,2 Pooled prevalence estimates suggest that roughly half will experience this symptom.2–4 The variability in reported prevalence reflects methodological differences across studies, including assessment instruments, cut-off scores, timing of evaluation after stroke, and geographical factors.4 Critically, post-stroke fatigue is not limited to acute recovery occurring within a few days or weeks, but is a chronic condition impacting quality of life and long-term outcomes for months to years and is not reliably predicted by stroke type or co-occurring physical impairment.

Trends in Intrinsic Capacity: Evidence from 32 Countries

Improving intrinsic capacity has become a key goal in promoting healthy aging. However, our understanding of the current state of intrinsic capacity in various population groups remains limited. In this study, we aimed to investigate the changes and temporal trends in the intrinsic capacity of individuals across a broad range of countries.
