HEALTH - Experts stated, obesity is now a major cause of cases of deadly blockage in the brain that can trigger a stroke.
The increase in the number of patients aged 35 to 39 years increased by 147 percent. While the number of patients in their 40s also rose to 100 percent. In the 50s, 60s, and 70s, stroke seems to be an increasingly common disease.
This study was conducted by researchers from Rutgers University in New Jersey. They included more than 200,000 adults in the United States.
The number of patients hospitalized due to a blockage in the brain case was found to increase by 46 percent in the past two decades, from 4,260 patients in 2000 to 6,221 patients in the last year, and the patient's age ranged from 40-54 years old.
Last year, the organization Stroke Association reports an alarming rise in the number of working-age adults who fell ill. They found that obesity has to overtake smoking as the main trigger stroke, with cases skyrocketed nearly half fold among middle-aged men.
Scientists in the Journal of the American Heart Associationmemperingatkan, stroke can now kill and cripple many more people who were enjoying the prime of their lives, both in career and households.
Researcher Dr Joel Swerdel of Rutgers University said, "People under 50 years old need to be aware that stroke does not just occur in old age. It could be worse than a heart attack, can snatch your life for 30 to 50 years old with physical disabilities."
Experts say obesity and poor eating choices are two things to blame. They said, "A person born in 1945 will probably eat porridge or eggs for breakfast. However, younger generations are more likely to eat sugary cereal to be inclined to taking blood pressure medication or cholesterol-lowering tablet."
That is why, healthy lifestyle choices is important manifested, especially when age was stepping 30 years
