Young adults are almost twice as likely to have a stroke as they were 30 years ago. 🧠 

New research published in Neurology, co-authored by University of Cincinnati neurologist Dr. David Robinson, tracked nearly three decades of stroke data from Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. The findings stand out:

🔺 Ischemic strokes nearly doubled among adults ages 20 to 54
🔺 High blood pressure in young stroke patients rose from 47.3% to 60.3%
🔺 Documented substance use jumped from 4.6% to 40.2%

The takeaway: you're never too young to think about stroke risk.

The full breakdown, including what young adults can do to lower their risk, is in the article below. 👇
