Strokes Increase Among the Young
Strokes Increasing in Younger Patients, Study Suggests by Janice Lloyd. USA Today. October 11, 2012.
Stroke, the fourth leading cause of death in the United States, is increasing at a faster rate in young people. Early strokes are serious because they can lead to a greater lifetime disability. Diabetes and obesity are thought to be related to the increase. However better detection among young people may also be a contributing factor. The American Stroke Association indicate that 80% of strokes are preventable, leading to hope that diet and exercise might be effective in dealing with this trend.
