Physical activity modification following a Transient Ischemic Attack in individuals with diabetes
Authors' conclusion
Positive change in physical activity following a ΤΙΑ was associated with a reduced risk of mortality. Increased engagement in physical activity should be promoted after TIA, thereby actively supporting individuals with diabetes in achieving improved health outcomes.
