---|---|---|
Exhaustion | Feeling constantly fatigued for more than one week before the stroke | Everything was an effort ≥3 days the last week |
Low physical activity | Engaging in exercise/ physical activities less than once a week before the stroke | Kilocalories expended per week – lowest quintilea |
Weight loss | Unintentional weight loss of ≥3.0 kg the last 6 months before the stroke | Unintentional loss of ≥4.5 kg OR ≥ 5% of body weight the last year |
