First ischemic stroke in young adults: Sex and age-related differences in stroke rates, risk factors, and etiologies
This study highlights sex and age differences in ischemic stroke rates, VRFs, and etiologies among adults under 55 years. After 35, stroke rates rose more sharply in men, paralleling their higher VRF burden. These findings emphasize the importance of early management of VRFs-including overweight-to mitigate stroke risk.
