How about a stroke? Is there any harm?
Stroke refers to a disease of brain dysfunction caused by insufficient blood supply to the brain or blood vessel rupture, and it is also one of the main causes of death among Chinese residents. So, why are the strokes so high?

First of all, the high incidence of stroke is closely related to bad lifestyle. With the rapid development of economy and the improvement of living standards, people's lifestyles have changed greatly. Bad living habits such as high-fat and high-salt diet, lack of exercise, smoking, drinking, etc. , make the blood viscosity increase and the blood vessel wall become thinner, thus increasing the risk of stroke.

Secondly, the aging population is also an important reason for the high incidence of stroke. With the increase of age, the function of human body declines, and the incidence of diseases such as arteriosclerosis and dyslipidemia increases, which makes the incidence of stroke increase. According to statistics, the prevalence of stroke in people over 60 years old is several times higher than that in people under 40 years old.

Third, genetic factors are also a factor leading to stroke. If a person has a stroke in his family, the risk of stroke will increase. Therefore, we should pay attention to whether there are stroke cases in the family and prevent them in time.

In addition, there are other factors that can also lead to stroke, such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and so on. These diseases will not only increase the risk of stroke, but also aggravate the consequences after stroke.

In view of the high incidence of stroke, we should take some effective preventive measures. First of all, develop a healthy lifestyle, reduce the high-fat and high-salt diet, increase exercise, quit smoking and limit alcohol. , thus reducing the risk of stroke. Secondly, strengthen the care of the elderly, timely discover and treat chronic diseases such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia, and prevent the occurrence of stroke. Finally, for people with family genetic history, we should pay attention to regular physical examination and preventive strategies to reduce the risk of stroke.

To sum up, there are many reasons for the high incidence of stroke, including unhealthy lifestyle, aging population, genetic factors and other chronic diseases. In order to reduce the risk of stroke, effective preventive measures should be taken, including developing a healthy lifestyle, timely treating chronic diseases and strengthening nursing care for the elderly. At the same time, we should also strengthen the publicity and education of stroke, improve the public's knowledge and awareness, so as to reduce the incidence and mortality of stroke and let people have a healthier life.
