With the continuous improvement of people’s living standard, there are more and more patients suffering from cerebral infarction. Patients with cerebral infarction may suffer from a slight slanting of the eyes and mouth and unclear speech, or they may be paralyzed in bed and completely lose their ability to live and work, and even worse, their lives may be in danger. Cerebral infarction has become the first disease in the incidence of neurology, and its incidence rate is getting higher and higher, and the age of onset is getting younger and younger. Once cerebral infarction occurs, it brings a heavy blow and burden to the patients and their families. Moreover, cerebral infarction is easy to recur, which may be aggravated if not paid attention to, and make the patients’ condition worse. So who are prone to cerebral infarction? In order to clarify the question of “who are prone to cerebral infarction”, we should firstly find out what are the risk factors leading to cerebral infarction? 1, age is an insurmountable risk factor for anyone: with age, human arteries begin to slowly harden and form plaques. Therefore, it is recommended that people over the age of 50 should have their blood glucose, blood lipid and blood pressure levels checked regularly every year, as well as their electrocardiograms, cardiac ultrasounds, and ultrasounds of the blood vessels in their necks to see if plaques have formed. Of course, with the improvement of living standards, the age of atherosclerosis is getting younger and younger, if the conditions allow, it is also necessary to have regular medical checkups every year for people under 50 years old. 2, family members with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases: Genetic factors are another important risk factor, such as parents with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, their children have a higher chance of cerebral infarction compared to other people without a history of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. 3.Men are more frequent than women: the incidence of cerebral infarction is higher in men than in women. 4. Hypertensive patients: the chance of cerebral infarction in hypertensive patients is significantly higher than that in the general population. Long-term chronic hypertension aggravates vascular sclerosis and plaque formation, which increases the chance of cerebral infarction, so hypertensive patients should actively control their blood pressure to reduce the chance of cerebral infarction. 5, diabetic patients: research has confirmed that vascular lesions are one of the common complications in diabetic patients, therefore, we should actively control blood glucose, delay the occurrence of vascular lesions, and prevent the occurrence of cerebral infarction. 6, hyperlipidemia patients: elevated blood lipids, especially elevated low-density lipoprotein, is a risk factor leading to atherosclerosis and plaque formation, but also a risk factor that increases the chance of cerebral infarction. Therefore, patients with elevated lipids need to actively control their diet and lipid control therapy. Smoking: Smoking has been proved to be a risk factor for vascular disease, therefore, it is recommended that people actively quit smoking, which can reduce the incidence of cerebral infarction. 8.Alcohol consumption: It is recommended to control the intake of alcohol, and it is better to quit drinking. 9. People who don’t like sports: Sports are beneficial to the regulation of blood pressure, blood sugar and blood fat, and appropriate sports can improve people’s mental state, relieve pressure, and benefit metabolism and sleep, which can reduce the incidence of cerebral infarction. 10, atrial fibrillation patients: atrial fibrillation patients because of arrhythmia prone to thrombosis, such as thrombus dislodgement, easy to cause cerebral infarction, so patients with atrial fibrillation need to be actively treated for atrial fibrillation, and at the same time, if necessary, the need for anticoagulation therapy. Therefore, with age, people with family history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and smoking and drinking habits are at high risk of cerebral infarction and need to pay extra attention. It is recommended to take a low-salt and low-fat diet, control blood pressure, blood glucose and blood lipids, quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption, exercise appropriately according to one’s physical condition, and develop a good lifestyle and routine. Regular medical checkups should be done every year.
