A member asked:

What are the reason why are strokes rare in teens?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Age: Vascular diease and strokes are often related to risk factors and lifestyle. Age creates more time for smoking, bad eating, high blood presure, diabetes and other risks of stroke. The message is control risk factors thru life to improve one's risks.
