Occupational and leisure-time physical activity differentially predict 6-year incidence of stroke and transient ischemic attack in women.

Conclusions Higher intensity levels of OPA increased stroke and TIA risks, while LTPA decreased risks; results corroborate the physical activity health paradox for women and cerebrovascular disease. More standing at work increased cerebrovascular disease risks, especially for women with CVD. PMID: 30448859 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
