Depression is common after stroke. Reported frequencies vary widely between studies because of differences in patient selection, time from stroke to assessment, evaluation methods and diagnostic criteria. Poststroke depression is related to increased mortality and poorer rehabilitation outcome. Few studies have been done in the elderly, and there is a lack of studies with population-based controls. We aimed to examine the risk of depression in elderly patients one and a half years after stroke and to compare the risk with a population-based control sample.
