REGULAR EXERCISES WITH SWEATING LOWERS RISK OF STROKE

Regular exercise lowers the risk of having a stroke, new research suggests.

A stroke can occur when a blood vessel in the brain gets blocked. As a result, nearby brain 

cells will die after not getting enough oxygen and other nutrients.

A number of risk factors for stroke have been identified, including smoking, high blood 

pressure, diabetes and being inactive.

Over 30,000 participants supplied their medical history over the phone. The researchers 

also visited them to obtain health measures such as body mass index and blood pressure.

At the beginning of the study, the researchers asked participants how many times per week 

they exercised vigorously enough to work up a sweat.

The researchers contacted participants every six months to see if they had experienced a 

stroke or a mini-stroke known as a transient ischemic attack (TIA). To confirm their 

responses, the researchers reviewed participants' medical records.

The researchers reported data for over 27,000 participants who were stroke-free at the start 

of the study and followed for an average of 5.7 years. One-third of participants reported 

exercising less than once a week.

Study subjects who were inactive were 20 percent more likely to experience a stroke or TIA 

than participants who exercised four or more times a week.

The findings revealed that regular, moderately vigorous exercise, enough to break a sweat, 

was linked to reduced risk of stroke. Part of the protective effect was due to lower rates of 

known stroke risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes , obesity and smoking.
