Complexity of the Relation Between Physical Activity and Stroke: a Meta-Analysis

This study explores the associations of recreational and occupational physical activity with ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke by means of meta-analysis.

Based on 31 studies the research concluded that recreational and occupational physical activity were both associated with reductions in risk of stroke. Studies varied widely in their estimates of risk; lower risks were found for active versus inactive men than women and for European versus US studies.
