Stroke Western medicine is called stroke, including ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke two categories, ischemic stroke refers to brain infarction, accounting for more than 70% of all strokes, with its high disability rate, high mortality rate, high recurrence rate to become the first killer of the health of the country, causing widespread concern, but did you know that not just anyone can get a stroke, “it But did you know that not just anyone can get a stroke, “it” like to find people have some common “traits”, that is, risk factors, with these risk factors, stroke will be easy to find you, and away from these risk factors can effectively prevent stroke, or prevent stroke recurrence, the following we will get to know them. Risk factors for cerebrovascular disease are divided into two kinds of interventional and non-interventional factors: a. Non-interventional risk factors include age, gender, race, ethnicity and family history, and there is nothing we can do about them. As previously known, cerebrovascular disease is more likely to affect older adults, African Americans, and individuals with a family history of cerebrovascular disease. The risk of cerebrovascular disease continues to increase with age, with the risk of cerebrovascular disease increasing by a factor of 1 every 10 years after age 55. Significant differences between the sexes are prevalent worldwide, and overall, the incidence of cerebrovascular disease is higher in men than in women, with a ratio of approximately 1.1 to 1.5:1. In addition, data published after 2001 suggest that lower birth weight is also a potentially non-intervenable risk factor; the risk of cerebrovascular disease in adults with birth weights ≤2500g is more than 1 The reason for this relationship is not clear. Second, interventional risk factors include hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hyperhomocysteinemia, smoking and passive smoking, lack of physical activity, carotid artery lesions, under-treatment of atrial fibrillation and heart failure, and asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis, and there are ways to treat or prevent these risk factors. We can greatly reduce the risk of stroke if we control these controllable risk factors. Do you remember them? I will explain each and every one of these controllable risk factors and clear the way so that we can all stay away from stroke.
