“U.S. stroke rate declining in adults 75 and older, yet rising in adults 49 and younger,” by American Heart Association, MedicalXPress

 

Quote:

“While fewer people older than age 75 are having strokes, the incidence of stroke among adults ages 49 and younger in the U.S. has continued to increase over the last 30 years, particularly among people living in the South and Midwest regions, according to preliminary research to be presented at the American Stroke Association’s International Stroke Conference 2022.”

 

LTC Comment, Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform:

Gen X, born between 1965 and 1976, is right in the new-stroke-data’s bullseye. What hath boomers wrought? Maybe all that worry about the cost of big entitlement programs being passed on to future generations is already having a neurological impact.
