Stroke and Young People.
More children and young adults in the US
are having strokes.
Data on up to eight million patients a
year for 13 years has been analysed.
The rate of ischemic stroke increased by
31% in 5 to 14-year-olds.
In all age groups the increase was greater in men
than in women.
The report said the prevalence of hypertension,
obesity and tobacco use had increased in stroke
patients.
This research emphasises the
need for people to be aware
that stroke can affect younger
people
We are all encouraged to check
our blood pressure and adopt a
healthy lifestyle.
