Strokes: Women sufferers 'have poorer life quality than men'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-26081636

Women have a poorer quality of life after a stroke than men, a study has found.

The US research, published in Neurology, assessed the mental and physical health of 1,370 patients three months and a year after a stroke.

Women had more depression and anxiety, pain and discomfort, and more restricted mobility.

UK experts said women tended to have strokes later, and might therefore need more support.

Thanks "Message auto-removed" for reminding me of a beloved DUer who is no longer with us.

I was having a pretty good day until now.
