World Stroke Day 2021 is the 29 October. The World Stroke Day campaign wants us to know “When somebody has a stroke, every second that goes by is crucial”.
Stroke
What is stroke?
In Learn About Stroke: Facts and Figures About Stroke the World Stroke Organization (WSO) elaborate on:
- “Stroke is a condition where the blood supply to the brain is disrupted, resulting in oxygen starvation, brain damage and loss of function. It is most frequently caused by a clot in an artery supplying blood to the brain, a situation known as ischemia. It can also be caused by hemorrhage when a burst vessel causes blood to leak into the brain. Stroke can cause permanent damage, including partial paralysis and impairment in speech, comprehension and memory. The extent and location of the damage determines the severity of the stroke, which can range from minimal to catastrophic”.

Menopause

Early Menopause

In Menopause Before 40 Tied To Higher Stroke Risk an author for the American Heart Association News elaborates on:

“Stroke is the second-leading cause of death worldwide, and women have a 4% higher lifetime stroke risk than men. Some studies show women who experience menopause at an earlier age have a higher risk of heart disease in general. But research has produced mixed results on the relationship between stroke and the age menopause started”.
