An inverse borderline significant association was found between leisure time physical activity and stroke among all participants in the multivariable adjusted model (HR: 0.86; 95% CI: 0.73–1.00; p for trend = 0.06) (Table 5 ).

The sentences
However, they did not reach statistical significance in the subgroup analysis investigating the association between leisure time physical activity and ischemic stroke in men ( p for trend = 0.10).
When we repeated the analyses after categorizing the exposure variable into deciles, we similarly found an inverse association between leisure time physical activity and the risk of MI in the fully adjusted model with a 41% lower risk in subjects in the ninth (HR: 0.59; 95% CI: 0.43–0.82) and a 22% lower risk in subjects in the highest decile (HR: 0.78: 95% CI: 0.56–1.10) compared to the lowest, with a significant trend ( p for trend = 0.03).
