FREE public talk: Why are more younger people having strokes?
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability. It is often thought of as something that happens only at older ages. But more and more, we see young adults in their 20s, 30s, 40s suffering from stroke. Why is this happening? Are strokes really becoming more common at younger ages, or are we just getting better at detecting them? More importantly, what can we do reduce the risk and improve prevention?
In this Oxford Biomedical Research Centre talk, Linxin Li, a Clinical Research Fellow in the University of Oxford’s Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences, will explore the recent increase in strokes at younger ages, discuss what might be driving it and assess if there is any easy solution in primary care.
FREE entry, no booking required.
