Скачать или смотреть Rising cases of stroke in young adults - Professor Linxin Li

New research funded by the Medical Research Foundation has shown a sharp increase in the incidence of stroke in young adults, in a study of more than 94,000 people in Oxfordshire.

Between 2002-2010 and 2010-2018, there was a 67% increase in stroke incidence among younger adults (under 55 years), and a 15% decrease among older adults (55 years or older).

Dr Linxin Li, Dr Cathy Scott, and Professor Peter Rothwell from the University of Oxford are investigating the causes of strokes in young people.

They are looking into risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, and obesity, as well as other causes.

Among young people who had a stroke, there was a significant increase in the proportion who were in more skilled occupations, particularly for professional or managerial jobs.
