Ischemic stroke more prevalent in young women than men
Overview
Stroke rate continues to rise which is a global threat, with more than 795,000 people every year in United States report to have a stroke. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 1 in 5 American women will have a stroke, and nearly 60 percent will die from the attack.
The review focused on the young adult age group that has reported that there are more young women between ages 18-45 with ischemic strokes compared with young men, suggesting that young women may be disproportionately at risk compared with their male counterparts.
44% more women with ischemic strokes than men were reported from19 studies that were reported based on sex-specific stroke incidence among young adults aged 18-35. For a better understanding, these sex differences are important in implementing strategies that can more effectively prevent and treat strokes in this age group.
