Association between sedentary behavior and the risk of dementia: A systematic review and meta-analysis

It is YOUR DOCTOR'S RESPONSIBILITY to get you fully recovered so you can do your daily 30 minutes of exercise. Don't let your doctor weasel out of that responsibility by quoting this shitworthy excuse; 'All strokes are different, all stroke recoveries are different.'. If it comes out, call the president and ask when competent doctors will be hired.  

This is what you are up against if your doctor doesn't get you 100% recovered.

Survivors of stroke take less than half the daily steps of healthy counterparts and spend >78% of their time in sedentary behaviors, regardless of time since stroke.13, 14

Association between sedentary behavior and the risk of dementia: A systematic review and meta-analysis


Translational PsychiatryYan S, Fu W, Wang C, et al. | April 23, 2020

A meta-analysis was designed to distinguish the correlation between sedentary behavior and the risk of dementia. Researchers carried out to search PubMed and Embase from their inception to March 2019 to identify observational studies evaluating the correlation between sedentary behavior and risk of dementia. Data were extracted by two independent reviewers and predefined criteria was applied to assess study quality. They applied Q statistics and  methods to investigate for heterogeneity. The Begg’s and Egger’s tests were applied to calculate the publication bias of the included studies. Eighteen relevant cohort studies including 250,063 participants and 2269 patients with dementia were distinguished. Association was found between sedentary behavior and a significantly increased risk of dementia, which might have important implications in performing etiological studies for dementia and developing strategies for dementia prevention.
