According to data released by the Korean Stroke Society on the 25th, stroke (cerebral infarction-cerebral hemorrhage) patients had a high prevalence of vascular risk factors. High blood pressure is 67.9%, hyperlipidemia (dyslipidemia) is 42.5%, diabetes is 34.3%, smoking is 21.9%, and cardiac fibrillation (heart palpitations) is 20%. By actively managing these risk factors on a daily basis, it is possible to prevent stroke, which can threaten your life and leave you paralyzed.
To smoke less… female patient 40%
As a result of the Stroke Association’s analysis of registered stroke patients from 68 centers nationwide participating in the Korean Stroke Registration Project (2012-2022), there were 153,324 cases of cerebral infarction. Among them, 40% of women smoked less. Although a significant number of female patients are in their 50s and 60s, the average age at onset for women was 72.5 years, showing a tendency for women to develop the disease later than men (66.3 years). Why do women develop strokes later than men?
Menopause is a turning point for women… High blood pressure, There are more than men
If we estimate separately from the data from the Stroke Association, women may lose estrogen (female hormone), which protects the blood and blood vessels, during menopause, causing blood vessels to lose elasticity and narrow. Patients with high blood pressure are more often male before their mid-60s, but more often are female after that. Hyperlipidemia (dyslipidemia) and arteriosclerosis also increase significantly. As these risk factors overlap, strokes increase rapidly among women in their late 60s to over 70s. Men who smoke and drink a lot seem to develop the disease earlier than women.
To prevent a devastating cerebral infarction… 50We must prepare thoroughly for
Among stroke patients in their 60s or older, cerebral infarction, in which a cerebral blood vessel is completely blocked, is more common than cerebral hemorrhage in which a cerebral blood vessel ruptures. If you are late in responding, even if your life is saved, it can lead to disastrous consequences such as paralysis, speech impairment, and vision impairment. The risk of dementia (vascular disease) also increases. Starting in your 50s, you should maintain your blood pressure and blood vessel health through eating habits and exercise. You can prevent high blood pressure or hyperlipidemia, and if you already have symptoms, manage them thoroughly to prevent a decline in your quality of life.
pulse, fish, nuts, olive oil…Foods that are good for brain blood vessels?
According to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency’s ‘Cardiovascular Disease Prevention and Management Guidelines’, soybeans and whole grains are helpful in preventing and controlling stroke, heart disease (myocardial infarction), high blood pressure, and heart failure. Soybean proteins such as soybeans, black beans, and kidney beans contain antihypertensive peptides that lower blood pressure. Phytic acid also has a preventive effect on cardiovascular diseases. Eating fish, nuts, and olive oil in appropriate amounts is also helpful.
If you see symptoms… 119Contact and go directly to the hospital
Symptoms of a stroke include numbness and numbness in an arm or leg on one side of the body. Poor physical condition, such as headaches or indigestion, also appears. Speech disorders such as slurred pronunciation may occur. In addition to dizziness, visual impairment occurs, such as objects appearing to overlap or blurring. If you show symptoms, you should call 119. You must go straight to the hospital while performing first aid in the car. The degree of disability varies greatly depending on how quickly the surgery is performed.
