Stroke survival and the impact of geographic proximity to family members: A population-based cohort study
2022, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :These studies have shown that, compared to patients with lower levels of perceived support, stroke patients with a high level of social support generally have better health outcomes after their first stroke incidence: faster and greater functional recovery (Glass and Maddox, 1992; Glass et al., 1993; Tsouna-Hadjis et al., 2000), lower levels of post-stroke depression (Palmer and Glass, 2003; Villain et al., 2017), and higher participation in physical activity (Espernberger et al., 2021). Similarly, social isolation has been associated with adverse stroke outcomes, for instance, higher all-cause and cardiovascular mortality (Boden-Albala et al., 2005; Hakulinen et al., 2018; Vogt et al., 1992). Further research has investigated the potential underlying link between social support and better health outcomes in the general population and CVD patients through behavioural, psychological, and physiological pathways (Berkman and Krishna, 2014; Uchino, 2004).
