Stroke in older people in Brazil: prevalence, associated factors, limitations and care practices. A cross-sectional study
Subgroups of people more affected by stroke were identified, which included older individuals, those with lower socioeconomic status, ex-smokers and those with neuroendocrine and cardiovascular comorbidities. Less than 20% of patients underwent physiotherapy, which underscores the need to expand multidisciplinary care in the health network.
