Young Strokes Are on the Rise – What's Really Going On?
At MAP, we believe in facts, not fear. Recent conversations about an increase in strokes among younger adults have led to speculation — but what does the research show?
According to neurologists and data from the American Stroke Association, stroke risk factors traditionally linked to older adults — like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, diabetes, smoking, poor diet, and inactivity — are now more commonly found in younger adults.
📌 Other contributing factors include:
Heavy alcohol use & recreational drug use
Stress & poor sleep
Socioeconomic barriers to care
Increased rates of chronic health conditions at earlier ages
🌟 The Truth About Vaccines & Stroke:
While some clients have expressed concern that COVID-19 vaccines may cause stroke, the CDC, FDA, and global health agencies emphasize that current data does not support a causal link between the vaccines and increased stroke risk. COVID-19 infection itself has been shown to raise stroke risk due to inflammation and clotting issues.
The best defense? Lifestyle choices and regular medical check-ups.
✔ Quit smoking
✔ Manage blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar
✔ Eat a Mediterranean-style diet
✔ Maintain a healthy weight
✔ Sleep 7–9 hours
✔ Move your body daily
✔ Reduce stress
Stroke is largely preventable — and at MAP, we empower you with the knowledge to take control of your health.
