Health-Related Quality of Life Among Young Adults With Ischemic Stroke on Long-Term Follow-Up (original) (raw)

The study investigates health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among young adults aged 15 to 49 years who have experienced an ischemic stroke, comparing their HRQoL with age- and sex-matched controls and the general Norwegian population. The research highlights that, despite favorable outcomes in younger patients compared to older ones, significant morbidity persists, impacting various health dimensions such as physical, emotional, and social well-being. Findings indicate that factors like depression and fatigue correlate significantly with lower HRQoL, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to support this population in managing their long-term health outcomes.
