World Stroke Day is a vital occasion to raise awareness about one of the world's leading causes of disability and mortality. Every year, millions of lives are affected by stroke, and it's crucial to understand its impact.
Stroke statistics are alarming:
Stroke is the second leading cause of death globally, responsible for approximately 11% of all deaths.
One in four people older than 25 years will have a stroke in their lifetime.
Nearly 80 million people have survived a stroke and are living with its long-term effects.
High blood pressure, smoking, poor diet, and physical inactivity are significant risk factors for stroke.
Up to 90% of strokes can be prevented through healthy lifestyle choices.
On this World Stroke Day, let's come together to:
Raise awareness
Support survivors
Advocate for better healthcare
Promote a healthy lifestyle
Learn CPR and first aid
Together, we can make strides in reducing the global burden of stroke. Let's strive for a world where strokes are less prevalent, and survivors receive the care and support they need to lead fulfilling lives.
