Physical activity and stroke. A meta-analysis of observational data

Abstract: Lack of physical activity is a modifiable risk factor for both total stroke and stroke subtypes. Moderately intense physical activity is sufficient to achieve risk reduction.

“…Furthermore, an important distinction to be made is that unlike rats and mice, humans often die of cardiovascular complications, including heart disease and stroke, while this is a rare cause of death in rodents (38). Since exercise has well-known benefits for cardiovascular health (14,42), the effect of exercise on human longevity may prove to be much more impressive than in animal models.…”

“…Studies by Lee and Bliar, Hu et al, Guilm et al and Folsom et al prove that being inactive produce risk factor for stroke and other cardiac diseases [10][11][12]. Being involved in physical activity is related to 25-45% reduction in risk factor of stroke [13]. In regard to this study reported by Jacob and colleagues showed that physical activity in leisure time reduce the risk factor for haemorrhagic and ischemic stroke.…”

“…A unit to express the quantity of exercise, the "Ekusasaizu (Ex) ( = METs · hour)," was established, and the target quantity of physical activity to prevent lifestyle-related diseases was set at 23 Ex or more per week. For example, ance, vascular endothelial dysfunction, decreased exercise capacity and an increased risk of atherosclerotic CVD, such as CAD and cerebrovascular disease [88][89][90][91][92][93][94][95][96][97][98] . Increased physical activity maintains and increases exercise capacity, improves the serum lipid profile, decreases blood pressure, increases insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance, improves the vascular endothelial function and prevents thrombosis [99][100][101] .…”
