Stroke and dementia are burdensome non communicable diseases but preventable. A joint prevention of stroke and dementia requires a comprehensive approach by controlling common risk factors. Little is known about the role of malnutrition in post-stroke cognitive impairments. The main aim of this study is to evaluate the presence of cognitive impairment after stroke and its association with malnutrition.
