Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to explore the level of pre-stroke physical activity in patients with stroke and to investigate associations between physical activity and sociodemographic variables, e.g. history of stroke, co-morbidities and subtype of stroke. Physical inactivity is a great risk factor for stroke; thus, the investigators hypothesise that patients hospitalised with stroke will present with a lower level of pre-stroke physical activity than recommended by World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines on physical activity for health. Additionally, the investigators expect to find an association between pre-stroke physical activity and specific sociodemographic variables, e.g. stroke subtype, and re-stroke.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Physical Activity

  Measured by a self-reported questionnaire, the Physical Activity Scale (PAS2), consisting of nine questions: Six measuring daily hours and minutes of sleep, work (sitting down, standing/walking and heavy physical activities), active transport and sedentary behaviour during leisure time, and three questions measuring weekly hours and minutes during leisure time at three intensities (light, moderate and vigorous)). Each question corresponds to a specific level of metabolic equivalent of task (MET). The total measurement will provide an estimation of a daily MET-score.

  The measurement will be performed between day 1 and day 7 of hospitalisation. The questionnaire evaluate the participants´ habitual physical activity level two weeks prior to hospitalisation.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Probability Sample

Study Population

Participants will be enrolled consecutively during their hospitalisation for a stroke.

You may qualify if:

• Clinical symptoms of acute stroke, verified by a neurologist with diagnosis of stroke (intracerebral haemorrhage, cerebral infarction, "stroke, not specified as haemorrhage or infarction" or transient ischemic attack (TIA)).
• Acute/subacute stroke or TIA verified on MRI-scan or CT-scan.
• Able to speak, read and understand Danish.
• Able to provide informed consent, including being awake, alert and oriented (personal data, place, and time).

You may not qualify if:

• Aphasia that hinders responding to the PAS2.
• Cognitive deficits that hinder responding to the PAS2 (Mini-Mental State Examination-score (MMSE) ≤ 23, diagnosis of dementia at hospital admission).
