In recent years, stroke is no longer a disease exclusive to the elderly. Annually, over 12 million people worldwide suffer a stroke, and approximately 6.5 million people die from this disease. It’s alarming that the disease is becoming increasingly prevalent among younger individuals: around 16% of all annual stroke cases occur in people aged 15 to 49.
Who is susceptible to stroke?
- Age and Gender: Around 34% of all stroke-related deaths occur in people under the age of 70. Men have a higher risk of stroke mortality than women. However, women have a higher stroke rate than men in the under-30 age group.
- Underlying Conditions: Individuals with a history of high blood pressure, diabetes, coronary heart disease, dyslipidemia, or obesity are at a significantly higher risk.
- Modern Lifestyle, Unhealthy Habits are “Silent Enemies” and the main causes of stroke, alongside other factors:
- Overwork and Chronic Stress: Stress can contribute to unhealthy behaviors such as overeating, lack of physical activity, and smoking.
- Lack of Physical Activity: A sedentary lifestyle is closely linked to cardiovascular diseases, increasing the risk of heart disease.
- Poor Diet: 90% of the burden of stroke is due to modifiable risk factors, including poor diet, lack of physical activity, smoking, and alcohol consumption.
What should you do to protect yourself and your family?
To proactively prevent stroke, regular health screening is the most important step. Screening programs will help assess risks from high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and other cardiovascular conditions. Based on this, a doctor can provide preventive advice.
High-risk individuals, especially those over 40, those with a family history of stroke, or those with underlying conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes, should take the initiative to get more frequent health check-ups.
