Age and aphasia: a review of presence, type, recovery and clinical outcomes

---

1617 articles were identified during the initial search. Forty studies including 14,795 study participants were included in the review. The review generally demonstrated that: (a) stroke patients with aphasia are typically older than stroke with patients without aphasia and (b) aphasia type and age are associated as younger patients with aphasia are more likely to exhibit non-fluent or Broca’s type of aphasia. In contrast, studies examining aphasia recovery and aphasia clinical outcomes did not demonstrate a positive relationship between age and recovery or clinical outcomes.
