Stroke survivors bear a higher risk of recurrent cerebrovascular events. Despite that, many fail to adhere to their targeted treatment goals. To overcome this issue, a study was conducted in Malaysia to examine the effectiveness of early dietitian-led lifestyle modifications among stroke survivors.

The study’s outcome variables consisted of blood pressure, body mass index, waist circumference, dietary intake, physical activity levels, smoking status, alcohol consumption, malnutrition risk, and health-related quality of life.
