Core Viewpoint - Stroke, commonly known as "cerebral infarction," is a significant health issue with high incidence, mortality, disability, and recurrence rates. It is not exclusive to the elderly, and prevention should target all age groups [1][2]. Group 1: Stroke Awareness and Prevention - Stroke is increasingly affecting younger individuals due to factors such as undiagnosed hypertension and diabetes, poor lifestyle choices like late nights, lack of exercise, and alcohol consumption [1]. - Prevention of stroke should begin in childhood, as childhood obesity significantly increases the risk of hypertension in adulthood. Parents are encouraged to manage their children's weight through diet and exercise [2]. - Middle-aged and elderly populations require focused prevention strategies, including detailed health management and regular screenings for vascular issues [2]. Group 2: Early Detection and Response - Most strokes are preventable and treatable if risk factors are identified early. The "120 mnemonic" can help recognize stroke symptoms: facial asymmetry, weakness or numbness in limbs, and language difficulties [2].
