Abstract |
Background/Objective |
Stroke symptoms in the absence of diagnosed stroke are common worldwide and associated with stroke risk factors and great impact on the physical and mental health functioning. The aim of this study was to assess, at the national level, the association of stroke symptoms with mental and physical health.
Methods |
Quality of life was assessed using physical and mental component summary scores (PCS and MCS) of the Short Form 12v2 Health Survey in the Lebanese population. We assessed the differences in the mean PCS and MCS scores among asymptomatic individuals with no stroke/transient ischemic attack (TIA) history (n=1167), symptomatic individuals with no stroke/TIA history (n=125) and those with stroke/TIA history (n=46). Psychometric properties of the Lebanese version of the SF- 12v2 were evaluated using principal component analysis.
Results |
Symptomatic individuals had an average PCS scores of 2.31 (95%CI: 0.75–3.88) points lower and those with stroke/TIA history had 3.26 (95%CI: 1.01–5.51) points lower when compared with asymptomatic individuals with no stroke/TIA history. Similarly, MCS scores for symptomatic individuals were 2.58 (95%CI: 1.02–4.13) points lower and those with stroke/TIA history had 3.28 (95%CI: 1.06–5.50) points lower than asymptomatic individuals.
Conclusion |
Physical and mental health functioning declined among symptomatic individuals and those with stroke/TIA history. Thus, frequent monitoring for the early detection of stroke symptoms may be recommended.
