Myint said that people with poor physical function might embody a high-risk population for stroke.
This physical function test may identify apparently healthy men and women at an increased risk of stroke who may benefit the most from preventative treatments, he said.
Myint added that its also possible that poor physical function may reflect underlying health issues, such as chronic inflammation, which may lead to vascular disease.
He also said that increasing physical activity and eating more fruits and vegetables might also help to reduce stroke risk.
