According to the data in the China Stroke Report (2022), ischemic stroke patients in China aged <50 years old accounted for 9.2% of men and 4.7% of women; since 1990~2019, China's mass age-standardized prevalence of stroke increased by 13.2%.
Why is the stroke population growing in China? And is it getting younger?
I. Why are more and more young people suffering from cerebral infarction in China?
Cerebral infarction, also known as ischemic stroke, is one of the most common types of stroke.
It is a disease in which blood circulation in the brain is impaired for various reasons, inducing ischemic and hypoxic necrosis of brain tissues, and then inducing corresponding neurological deficits.
Why more and more young people in China suffer from cerebral infarction is mainly related to two factors:
One is unhealthy lifestyle, including greasy diet, irregular work and rest, lack of exercise, obesity, and smoking and alcoholism.
The second is the influence of disease factors, including high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, atrial fibrillation and other diseases, all of which can increase the risk of cerebral infarction.
Most of the time, cerebral infarction and dietary habits also have a great correlation, therefore, do not want to blood vessel clogging, four kinds of food to touch less.
Greasy food such as fatty meat, animal oil and animal offal can easily increase the fat and cholesterol content of the blood, leading to an increase in blood viscosity. After a long time will lead to plaque within the blood vessels, inducing blood vessel blockage, and ultimately easy to cause cerebral infarction occurs.
Excessive intake of high-sugar foods will lead to an increase in blood viscosity, resulting in an increase in blood sugar. And it will make the dredging and cleaning of blood vessels to produce obstacles, easy to induce blood vessel blockage, and ultimately lead to cerebral infarction.
Processed meats such as ham, sausage, bacon, and other processed meats with a lot of salt and nitrate added during the processing, which can easily lead to elevated blood pressure, increase insulin resistance, and affect the normal function of the vascular endothelium, which are the risk factors for the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases.
Trans fatty acids are found in margarine, shortening and hydrogenated fats. Like pastries, fried food baked food are more trans fatty acids, excessive intake will lead to elevated LDL cholesterol, will increase the risk of atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease.
Two, sleep 4 signs, or brain attack coming
When people rest in bed, the body's blood flow will be slowed down, especially itself has three high or atherosclerosis and other basic illnesses of the elderly, more prone to cerebral infarction, therefore, when the body sleeps 4 precursors, to consult a doctor as soon as possible, as early as possible to check.
1, transient blurred vision
Transient blurred vision is mostly associated with high blood viscosity, resulting in poor blood circulation can not allow the optic nerve to receive sufficient oxygen and nutrients. If you experience this symptom on a daily basis, you should be more alert to the possibility that it may be a sign of a cerebral infarction.
2, often sleepy in the afternoon
After lunch, the general public will have a feeling of sleepiness, generally tolerable, but the blood viscosity of the crowd, there will be a performance after lunch can not open their eyes, need to sleep immediately, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable all over the whole body, the whole afternoon are lethargic, this is a common manifestation of the lack of blood supply to the brain.
3, numbness and weakness of the hands and feet
No causative circumstance, the sudden numbness of the limbs, weakness, may be caused by cerebral ischemia and hypoxia. When the cerebral ischemia and hypoxia, it will significantly affect the activities of the limbs, and even unexplained fainting and falling performance will occur.
4, dizziness, headache, vomiting
Head discomfort, many times due to insufficient blood and oxygen supply to the brain caused by the recent if frequent symptoms of dizziness, headache, vomiting, must be more vigilant.
How to prevent it in daily life? To do these two points, or can stay away from cerebrovascular accident:
Three, suffered a cerebral infarction, three life-saving laws to keep in mind
2020, China's cerebral infarction of new strokes as high as 3.4 million people, of which 2.3 million people died because of stroke. In comparison, the mortality rate of cerebral infarction in China is four times higher than that in Europe and the United States.
Why is the number of cerebral infarction deaths in China so high? Zhao Jing, director of the Department of Neurology at Minhang Hospital affiliated with Fudan University, said that the proportion of patients with cerebral infarction in Europe and the United States who seek medical treatment within three hours is about 60 percent, while the proportion in China is only 11.79 percent. For every minute of delayed treatment, 1.9 million brain cells die in the patient's brain.
Director Yang Xiaofeng, director of the Emergency Trauma Center of the First Hospital of Zhejiang University, said: 6 hours is the golden rescue time, thrombolytic therapy needs to be carried out within 4.5 hours after the onset of the disease, and the removal of the thrombus needs to be carried out within 6 to 24 hours. The sooner you get to the doctor, the greater the chance of rescue and recovery.
So when a cerebral infarction occurs, you must remember the following three rules to save your life"
Stroke is not the "patent" of the elderly, it has turned the "clutches" to the young, life must pay attention to this, as far as possible to prevent its occurrence.
