Strong SC for Stroke Survivors with Overweight or Obesity
This study, "Fueling Strong Hearts for a Strong South Carolina," is for stroke survivors aged 45-80 who are also overweight or obese. It aims to see if a program called Strong SC can improve their health and daily life. Strong SC combines the StrongPeople StrongHearts program, which teaches about nutrition, exercise, and strength training, with a special grocery program that provides healthy food. The study will compare Strong SC to the StrongPeople StrongHearts program alone, and a group that waits to receive the intervention. Researchers will measure physical activity, how stroke impacts daily life, and diet quality over 24 weeks to see if these programs help people recover better after a stroke. The study plans to enroll 50 participants.
