Hypertension and diabetes were identified as the key risk factors for acute stroke in the country in a research undertaken by a private hospital in India on 526 patients. The research proposes that future efforts should aim at early identification and vigorous treatment of stroke and its complications. As a result, the findings of this study are extremely important for public health, and they advocate for more active diagnosis and management of hypertension in the population.
According to the report, stroke accounts for about 1.5% of all urban hospital admissions, 5% of all medical reasons, and 20% of all neurological causes in India. It is critical to learn the risk factors associated with stroke in order to prevent it. While certain aspects are beyond one’s control, such as age, race, gender, and family history, one should pay attention to those that are under our control, such as monitoring blood pressure, regulating cholesterol, controlling blood sugar, being active, eating healthier, decreasing weight if necessary, and quitting smoking.
Ischemic strokes account for around 70% of all strokes, whereas the remaining 30% are caused by intracerebral and subarachnoid hemorrhages. According to the study, when it comes to region-wise prevalence, south Asian nations have the greatest rates of stroke-related death. Dr Pushpendra N Renjen, Senior Neurologist of Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, conducted the study which was published in the Journal of Hypertension 2021 by the Stroke Research Group Apollo Hospitals. The investigation was carried out across India in six private hospitals.
