Designed sheet, collecting data about age, sex, years of education hypertension, diabetes mellitus, heart diseases, smoking and imaging, obtained from medical records. Physical activity the year before stroke onset assessed by GPAQ. Language proficiency and experience assessed by BLP. Mini mental state examination used to asses’ cognitive status at stroke onset and 3 months after stroke.

Cognitive impairment was associated with anterior and mixed circulation affection not with posterior circulation. We found no gender differences, no relation with years of education or more than one language experience. further studies are need with more refined criteria and assessment parameters especially IQ and educational levelin Egypt |
