Stroke rates are rising in young adults

Stroke rates are rising in young adults



"The results showed an increase in hospitalization rates in younger adults, ages 18-44, since 1995. Increases were seen most specifically in men 35 to 44 by 42% and women of the same age group by 30%.
Even though deaths due to strokes have significantly decreased over the last 50 years, strokes were the fifth leading cause of death among all adults in 2013, according to The Washington Post."
