More than 90% of strokes are preventable and can be avoided if the necessary steps prevent ten risk factors associated with it. This finding was published in the “Lancet” after analyzing nearly 27,000 people from different parts of the world.
The global study was conducted by Dr. Martin O’Donnell and Professor Salim Yusuf, who collaborated with 32 other countries on building the preliminary phase of the survey.
They further pointed out that high blood pressure is one of the most important factors behind a person’s risk for a stroke.
The researchers believe that the stroke accident can go down if people do not suffer from high blood pressure. It can also go down even one engages in exercise or another form of physical activity.
The researcher calculated the population attributable for each factor (PAR) to get the correct answer of how a particular risk factor causes stroke, the researcher calculated the population attributable for each factor (PAR).
Female cancer patients’ stats:
47.9% for hypertension, 35.8% for physical inactivity, for obesity it was 18.6%, the poor diet consisted of 23.2%, 9.1% due to heart (cardiac) causes, 12.4% for smoking, 26.8% for lipids, 5.8% of both alcohol intake and stress and 3.9% for diabetes.
Many of the factors in the PAR is known to be associated with each other and produce the same result in all men and women, age group, and religion.
Even though high blood pressure is known to be a culprit in many cases, for a person to be 100% safe from strokes, they will have to exercise, eat healthily, maintain a healthy weight, etc.
Other than that, one will have to cut down on the consumption of alcohol and cigarette smoking. Also, factors like obesity and diabetes are interlinked and need to be controlled at the earliest.
The researchers found out the other important aspect was how regionally also strokes varied due to high blood pressure. In Western Europe, North America, and Australia, 40% suffer from strokes and more than 60% in Southeast Asia.
On talking about this latest study, the professor added that there had been calls to action for primary prevention for a while, but now is the time for individuals, organizations, and government to collectively take some action to save all from the burden of strokes.
