Your risk of experiencing a stroke increases with age. But strokes also occur in those under 65.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/stroke\/risk_factors.htm\">According to the CDC<\/a>, people between the ages of 15 and 49 account for about one in seven strokes.<\/p>\n<p>Certain risk variables, like gender, age, and family history, are beyond your control. However, there are a few prevalent illnesses and lifestyle choices that increase your chance of stroke. These include, among other things, smoking, being overweight, having diabetes, high blood pressure, and not getting enough exercise.<\/p>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\"><ins class=\"adsbygoogle adsbygoogle-noablate\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7371466251926116\" data-adsbygoogle-status=\"done\" data-ay-observed=\"true\" data-ad-status=\"unfilled\" data-ay-tracked=\"true\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"aswift_5_host\"><\/div>\n<p><\/ins><\/div>\n<p>Being aware of your stroke risk and the strategies to reduce it is crucial.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\"><iframe title=\"Recognize the Signs and Symptoms of Stroke\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mkpbbWZvYmw?feature=oembed\" name=\"fitvid0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Strokes, often known as brain attacks, come in two varieties.
