title: An exploration of nutrition and eating disabilities in relation to quality of life at 6 months post-stroke.
abstract: This study carried out in south London involved interviews with 206 patients who had been hospitalised by a stroke. The mean age of participants was 71 years. Interviews were conducted in stroke survivors' homes by a single researcher, and a range of tools were used. The results indicated that mood was a major factor in poor nutritional status. In addition, social support, eating-related disabilities and age were found to have a significant impact.
