摘要

Stroke occurs suddenly, but the underlying causes develop over time, remaining under the radar and uncontrolled. The result: 160,000 people die of stroke each year, 66% of whom are women. There is a 20% lifetime risk of stroke, and it is the third leading cause of death, claiming more than twice as many lives as breast cancer. More surprising, over 25% of women who have a stroke in any given year are under the age of 65. Strokes have tripled among middle-aged women in a relatively short time despite a greater proportion of women taking medications to control hypertension and hyperlipidemia, according to data presented at the International Stroke Conference in February 2008. This alarming trend corresponds to an increase in waist circumference (up by 2 inches in the past decade) as well as a rise in body mass index (BMI) (average now at 29, up from 27) and higher serum glucose levels while rates for other common risk factors remain steady.
