Association between physical activity levels and stroke risk among Chinese adults aged 45 and over based on CHARLS.

ABSTRACT: Stroke is one of the leading causes of death in developing countries, and China bears the largest global burden of stroke. This study aims to investigate the relationship between different dimensions of physical activity levels and stroke risk using a nationally representative database.
