Being young is no longer an indication of health. Medical studies conducted over the last few years have concluded that the seemingly unstoppable growth of obesity among the young has possibly led to the first generation in history to not outlive their parents. Data support this worrisome phenomenon: Despite improved health care practices and better medical technologies, more young people are dying. This, however, is not the full extent of the problem. New research is suggesting that more young adults now are being admitted to emergency rooms for stroke incidence.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has said that strokes kill more than 130,000 Americans each year, with someone in our country suffering a stroke every 40 seconds. The group further states that someone dies of a stroke every four minutes. These are sobering statistics, but one that has never been associated with the young. Strokes, after all, were considered an “elderly disease” — the condition occurring when the brain does not receive enough oxygen or nutrients, usually because the arteries leading to the brain are unable to give the brain its necessary fuel. Brain cells consequently die. The most common type is the ischemic stroke which is characterized by a blockage or narrowing of arteries that provide blood to the brain due to blood clots. Typically, clots are caused by fatty deposits within the arteries called plaque.
