It is frustrating to see the low rate of young people with stroke symptoms. What would you do if you had numbness and weakness in your limbs and speech problems? A. Go to the hospital right away B. Take an aspirin or a pill C. You’re young and healthy, so it shouldn’t be a big problem, so just ignore it D. You’re probably too tired, so just get some rest Dr. David Liebeskind of the UCLA Medical Center conducted a nationwide survey on stroke awareness that found that most people under the age of 45 who experience some of the hallmark symptoms of a stroke (weakness, numbness, speech problems) are more likely to have a stroke than those under age 45 who do not. hallmark symptoms of stroke (limb weakness, numbness, speech or vision problems), they would wait and watch for progression of symptoms, while only 1/3 of those surveyed said they would likely go to the hospital. In this survey, the age groups and percentages of respondents who said they would wait and watch for the disappearance of stroke-related symptoms were as follows: 1) 75% of respondents aged 18-34 years; 2) 71% of respondents aged 35-44 years; 3) 65% of respondents aged 45-54 years; 4) 63% of respondents aged 55-64 years; and 5) 58% of respondents aged 65 years or older. 58 percent. “It’s really a problem,” Liebeskind said in a news release, “We need to educate young people more about the symptoms of stroke and make them aware of the urgency of this disease because the prevalence in young patients is rising. ” The results of this press release have not yet been published in a peer-reviewed journal journal. According to a study in the American Heart Association’s journal STORK, one-third of people who have a stroke before age 50 and survive are unable to live independently or need help with daily activities 10 years after their stroke. About 10 percent of strokes occur between the ages of 18 and 50. Even if the patient has a good recovery of motor function, there may still be undetectable damage that makes the patient incapable of living independently,” said study senior author Dr. Frank-Erik de Leeuw, associate professor of neurology at the Nijmegen Medical Center, Radboud University, in the Netherlands. ” The researchers evaluated 722 patients who had their first stroke between the ages of 18 and 50. After an average of nine years of follow-up, about one-third of the patients were at least moderately disabled and needed help with some activities. Many patients were unable to perform daily tasks independently, such as taking care of themselves, doing housework, or managing money. Further investigation revealed that different types of stroke resulted in differences in the proportion of patients with a poor functional prognosis and in their ability to live independently. 1. After a transient ischemic attack (TIA, or “mini-stroke”), 16.8% of patients experienced functional impairment and 10.8% experienced a decrease in their ability to live independently. 2. After an ischemic stroke, caused by a blood clot in the brain, 36.5% of patients experience functional impairment and 14.6% are unable to live independently. 3, After a hemorrhagic stroke, caused by bleeding in the brain, 49.3 percent of patients experienced functional impairment and 18.2 percent lost their ability to live independently. “Most physicians believe that younger stroke patients have a better basis for recovery,” de Leeuw said, “but our study points out for the first time that the impact of stroke on these patients’ abilities is almost lifelong. That’s why it’s so important to have timely communication with patients and families at the outset.” Patients fared even worse if they had another stroke during follow-up. 91 of the 722 patients had another stroke, with 54.9 percent experiencing at least moderate disability and 33.3 percent requiring help from others with daily living activities, compared with 28.7 percent of patients without stroke recurrence and 11.5 percent of patients without stroke recurrence. The researchers are investigating the factors that contribute most to poor functional prognosis. It’s not clear which of the factors such as cognition, depression, and family or relationship problems are the most important contributors to poor functional prognosis,” de Leeuw said. But once it’s clear, we can intervene effectively.” Although these studies are conducted in foreign countries, but we can imagine that the status quo in China may be worse, many young people believe that they are young and strong, a little disease and pain is no big deal, this is actually not true, only more love for their own bodies, it is possible to enjoy a better life, so from now on to begin to pay attention to their own body’s abnormal signals, oh, if there is a more nervous around the people! The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you are aware of the signals that are coming out of your body.
