The prevalence of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity is high in people with stroke. Risk factors for these conditions include hypertension, high cholesterol, and physical inactivity. These risk factors are common in people with stroke and often go unmanaged. Engagement in healthy behaviors is important for managing and preventing these risk factors and comorbid conditions. More specifically, physical activity and nutrition are key health behaviors for the management and maintenance of health in people with stroke. These health behaviors, by their very nature, are also occupations; thus, they are influenced by client factors, performance skills and patterns, and environments and contexts. This article discusses physical activity and nutrition within the context of the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework: Domain and Process and proposes potential roles for occupational therapy practitioners and researchers in developing, testing, and providing physical activity and nutrition interventions for people with stroke.
中风患者中心血管疾病、糖尿病和肥胖症的患病率很高。这些疾病的风险因素包括高血压、高胆固醇和缺乏身体活动。这些风险因素在中风患者中很常见，且往往未得到控制。参与健康行为对于管理和预防这些风险因素及共病状况很重要。更具体地说，身体活动和营养是中风患者管理和维持健康的关键健康行为。这些健康行为本质上也是活动；因此，它们受到个体因素、表现技能和模式以及环境和背景的影响。本文在《职业治疗实践框架：领域与过程》的背景下讨论身体活动和营养，并提出职业治疗从业者和研究人员在为中风患者开发、测试和提供身体活动及营养干预措施方面的潜在作用。
