Cover Story: Sarcopenic obesity is strongly associated with decreased activities of daily living in community-dwelling older adults. We hypothesized that sarcopenic obesity also has a negative impact on activities of daily living in patients after stroke. A cross-sectional study was conducted to clarify the relationship between sarcopenic obesity, simple obesity and sarcopenia without obesity and activities of daily living capability in patients with stroke in convalescent rehabilitation wards. We found that approximately 30% of patients were classified to have sarcopenic obesity, and it was independently associated with lower ability to perform activities of daily living. Based on the findings, we ascertain that body composition of the patients after stroke should be assessed routinely as a part of daily rehabilitation assessment in rehabilitation settings.
