Abstract:
Stroke in young adults is not rare since one in ten stroke patients are less than 55 years old, and incidence is 20 to 35/100000 per year at this age. This incidence increased over the last past years because of the rise in the prevalence of diabetes, obesity, and marijuana abuse, and still a high prevalence of smoking. This latter risk factor is the most frequent and accounts for more than one half of young stroke patients. Even though both survival and functional outcome of young stroke patients are better than those observed in older patients, socioeconomic and quality of life consequences make this disease a main objective for practitioners who should identify individuals at risk and apply preventive strategies.
