September 19th, 2014. Boynton Beach, FL. South Palm Cardiovascular Associates releases an article discussing stroke and how the risk of having one increases with age. According to the Boynton Beach-based center, if you are over 55 you need to become aware of other risk factors for stroke, because although you can’t do much about your age, you can do a lot to reduce the other risk factors.
In this article, the directors of South Palm Cardiovascular Associates discuss a number of factors that increase your risk of having a stroke. According to a center representative, in addition to your age, “Your personal and family medical history, your diet, your weight, whether you smoke, your exercise patterns, and your blood pressure and cholesterol levels all play a role. Even your mental state and your levels of hostility, stress, and depression can increase your stroke risk.” They want patients and the general public to understand the risks that lead to stroke, and how they can reduce those risks so that they remain healthy.
These Boynton Beach cardiology specialists feel that if people were more aware of the risk factors that lead to stroke, and how many of these factors are already present in their lives, they would better understand the need to see a to learn how to reduce or eliminate them. Doing this could enable them to avoid a stroke, whatever their age.
