According to scientists, female persons under the age of 35 suffer with 44 % more likely an ishemic stroke than men of the same age. This emerges from a new study in which the authors the gender differences in relation to theExamined risk of stroke. In addition, they included original research that was populated and focused on adults under the age of 45. The greatest incidence of the overview had Ischemic strokes that make up about 87 % of all strokes.
Gender differences in the risk of ischemic stroke
The analysis of the study authors showed that the gender -specific differences in the incidence of ischemic strokes in adults under the age of 35 were greatest and clear. In this age group, an estimated 44 % more women than men suffered an ischemic stroke. However, this gender difference decreased by people aged 35 to 45. Gender differences in higher age groups were more difficult to determine in this systemic review. The researchers were also unable to identify any concrete causes of the higher prevalence of strokes in young women compared to young men. They concluded that traditional atherosclerotic risk factors make a significant contribution to the risk of stroke of both sexes and are becoming increasingly important with age. However, these risk factors are less common in younger women and may not be taken into account. Non-traditional risk factors such as pregnancy, puerperium and hormonal contraceptives could play an important role in the overall burden of ischemic strokes.
The new research results suggest that the causes of an ischemic stroke differ from older people in young adults. In addition, a better understanding of these risk factors could contribute to reducing the risk of stroke. The researchers were also able to find that women with a stroke in the prehistory have a low risk of pregnancy complications. However, such complications such as preeclampsia and premature births could increase the risk of stroke many years after birth. The presentation and reporting of women in clinical studies on acute stroke is also still suboptimal.This studySo paves the way for future research, the results of which could better define such risk factors.
