Why young people are coming down with stroke – Medical Experts
Medical experts have raised concerns about the increasing cases of strokes among young Nigerians, linking the rise to unhealthy lifestyle habits, environmental challenges, and undiagnosed health problems. Factors such as poor diet, lack of exercise, excessive stress, smoking, and uncontrolled high blood pressure are believed to play a major role. Experts warn that many young people are unaware of underlying conditions, such as hypertension or diabetes, which often go undetected until a serious episode occurs. They emphasize the need for regular health check-ups, healthier lifestyle choices, and better awareness to reduce the growing risk of stroke in the younger population.
