This session is aimed at providing a background to aspects that should be considered for the prevention of stroke. It will describe the context of stroke prevention within the context of the non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The session will provide information around the global health and economic burden of the NCDs with a specific focus on Canada, Mauritius, UK and India. There will be a focus on physical activity recommendations and the recent update by the World Health Organisation with a view to understanding what these mean for participants (participation required). There will be an exploration of the pitfalls of implementing governmental guidelines and consideration of the next steps. This includes an exploration of physical activity requirements pre- and post-stroke. Finally, there is a chance for all participants to consider how we might all change our own physical activity behaviour to prevent stroke.
At the end of the session, participants will be able to:
- Describe features that might be considered for the prevention of stroke
- Develop this discussion within the context of the non-communicable diseases (NCDs)
- Explain the global health and economic burden of the NCDs
- Understand physical activity recommendations and explore how these might be implemented
- Consider implementing a change in physical activity behaviour
