Interventions to reduce or interrupt periods of sedentary time after stroke could potentially reduce the risk of secondary cardiovascular events and mortality.
Do interventions to reduce sedentary behaviour reduce the risk of secondary cardiovascular events and mortality in stroke survivors?
Interventions to reduce sedentary time in stroke survivors may reduce cardiometabolic risk and secondary cardiovascular events.
Stroke survivors are o en physically inactive as well as sedentary,and may sit for long periods of time each day. This increases cardiometabolic risk and has impacts on physical and other functions. Interventions to reduce or interrupt periods of sedentary time, as well as to increase physical activity a er stroke, could reduce the risk of secondary cardiovascular events and mortality during life a er stroke.
Saunders et al. (Mon,) conducted a review in Stroke. Interventions to reduce sedentary behaviour was evaluated. Interventions to reduce or interrupt periods of sedentary time after stroke could potentially reduce the risk of secondary cardiovascular events and mortality.
