The aim was to investigate factors influencing obesity among stroke survivors based on demographics and lifestyle behaviors.
Stroke survivors are more likely to experience stroke recurrence within a few years. As obesity is a traditional risk factor for stroke, obesity should be managed in stroke survivors to prevent stroke recurrence.
A cross-sectional secondary data analysis analyzed data from the 2017 United States Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) survey. Demographics, frequency of vegetable and fruit intake, smoking, alcohol use, physical activity, and sleep were examined.
Among 1032 stroke survivors, 57.8% were obese. Advanced age, female sex, veteran status, at least once-daily fruit intake, current smoking, and lack of physical activity were associated with obesity.
Stroke survivors should be encouraged to pursue healthy behaviors to manage obesity. Appropriate transitional care, including diet education and tailored exercise, can be an effective strategy.
本研究旨在基于人口统计学和生活方式行为，调查影响脑卒中幸存者肥胖的因素。
脑卒中幸存者在几年内更有可能经历脑卒中复发。由于肥胖是脑卒中的传统危险因素，因此应在脑卒中幸存者中管理肥胖以预防脑卒中复发。
采用横断面二次数据分析方法，对 2017 年美国行为风险因素监测系统（BRFSS）调查的数据进行分析。检查了人口统计学、蔬菜和水果摄入频率、吸烟、饮酒、身体活动和睡眠情况。
在 1032 名脑卒中幸存者中，57.8%为肥胖。高龄、女性、退伍军人、每日至少一次摄入水果、当前吸烟和缺乏身体活动与肥胖有关。
应鼓励脑卒中幸存者养成健康的行为习惯来管理肥胖。适当的过渡性护理，包括饮食教育和量身定制的运动，可能是一种有效的策略。
