Elesin, Daniel

Daniel Elesin was a semi-finalist in the 2024 UBC Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition. Daniel presented their research, "Impact of Aerobic Fitness on Intra-Individual Variability in Older Adults with Chronic Stroke." They hope to investigate the association between aerobic fitness and cognitive variability in older adults with chronic stroke, contributing to better health outcomes for stroke survivors. The prevalence of stroke among geriatric populations is rising, with over 70% of all strokes occurring after age 65. This neurological disease has been associated with a greater risk of cognitive decline, specifically one’s processing speed. Research suggests that aerobic fitness may improve a person’s cognitive health after a stroke. However, the results are mixed, perhaps due to the insensitivity of the cognitive assessments. Daniel’s research was a secondary analysis that assessed whether aerobic fitness is associated with a person’s IIV of processing speed. Daniel Elesin is completing their PhD in the Division of Medical Oncology under the supervision of Dr. Teresa Liu-Ambrose.
