| Sumario: | Background: Post-ischemic stroke cognitive decline is significantly affecting the quality of life of its
survivors. Its prevalence was about 7.5-72% which was mostly determined by the existing of vascular
risk factors and cognitive reserve of the subjects. Level of education is one of determinants of
cognitive reserve, a factor that affect the susceptibility of subjects to cognitive decline after
experiencing ischemic stroke-related neuronal damage. Since level of education is protective for
cognitive function, the intervention on it can reduce the occurrence of cognitive decline.
Objective: To investigate the relationship between level of education and cognitive status among
hospital-based ischemic stroke survivors.
Methods: This cross-sectional study involved post-ischemic stroke outpatients in two hospitals. The
data collected in this study were demographic data, including level of education, and clinical data as
well. The level of education was categorized into ≥12 years and <12 years groups. Cognitive status
was assessed using Montreal Cognitive Assessment in Indonesia version (MoCA-Ina) and subjects
with score of 26-30 were normal. The relationship between level of education as well as clinical data
and cognitive status were analyzed using chi-square test.
Results: There were 166 subjects eligible for this study (n=166). The mean age of subjects was 58
years and 68.67% of them were male. Cognitive decline were found 80.12% of subjects (n=133). The
level of education was significantly associated with cognitive status of the subjects and hypertension
as well.
Conclusion: The level of education had significant |
