According to the American Stroke
Association, stroke is the third highest cause of death in America. Ischemic
stroke occurs when blood clots block blood flow to the brain so it does not
reach. Hemorrhagic stroke disrupt the blood flow to the brain when there is
ruptured (broken) in blood vessels. In both cases, the lack of oxygen to the
brain is a major cause of damage.
Here are some stroke risk factors that you should know:
1. Hypertension (Hypertension)
High blood pressure, also known as hypertension is a major cause of stroke. However, hypertension is the most controllable factor in reducing the risk of stroke.
Early detection and treatment of high blood pressure will reduce the risk of stroke, heart disease, and kidney disease.
2. Smoke
Smoking can increase the risk of stroke, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, lung disease, and lung cancer. Even the risk of stroke may be increased in passive smokers.
3. Lifestyle
Poor nutrition, high cholesterol, obesity, and lifestyle are all associated with an increased risk of stroke.
The American Heart Association recommends a diet low in fat, low salt, lowering total blood cholesterol levels to less than 200 mg / dL, and physical activity at least 30 minutes every day.
When combined, all of the above recommendations will reduce the risk of stroke and other diseases, but also will improve the overall health kardivaskular.
4. Other health conditions
Heart disease is closely associated with stroke risk. Defective heart valves, coronary artery disease, and atherosclerosis can increase a person's risk of stroke.
Stroke is also common in people with diabetes, high cholesterol, and sickle cell anemia.
Someone who had experienced a transient ischemic attack (transient ischemic attack) which is also called 'mini-strokes' possibilities for ischemic stroke or hemorrhagic stroke in the future will be greater.
5. Factors outside the control
Men have a slightly higher risk than women, and African-Americans have a higher risk than Caucasians to have a stroke.
Although the risk of stroke increases with age, but the American Stroke Association warned that a stroke can occur at any age.
Will also increase stroke risk in people who have a family history of stroke.
