Why stroke seems to be increasing in young people

A few years ago some studies seemed to indicate that younger people were having more strokes than used to be the case.

Recent research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association show that this is almost certainly the case.

The research showed a massive increase in stroke and “mini stroke” in people below the age of 55.

The research analyzed data from 2002 to 2018 – so these changes have nothing to do with the recent pandemic or pandemic-related policies.

At the same time, incidences of stroke are going down in older people.

The human research was carried out at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. This paper was published in JAMA.

“Studies have reported increasing stroke incidence at younger ages (<55 years) but have often relied only on administrative data, and more population-based studies of adjudicated stroke are required.”

The authors of this study set out to compare levels of stroke and related conditions in people in different age groups over the last couple of decades.

“An understanding of the drivers of any increase in incidence of young stroke also requires comparisons with stroke trends at older ages and with trends in incidence of other vascular events at younger ages.”

The researchers used data taken from almost 100,000 people in Oxfordshire and the UK between the years of 2002 and 2018.

The study looked for changes in incidence of stroke, mini stroke (transient ischaemic attack), heart attack and other related problems.

“Changes in incidence of stroke, transient ischemic attack, and other major vascular events (myocardial infarction, sudden cardiac death, and peripheral vascular events) stratified by age, sex, diagnostic workup, etiology, and severity.”

The researchers compared incidence of these conditions for two different time periods.

2002 – 2010 was compared with 2010 – 2018.

Between those two time periods the incidence of stroke increased by two thirds in people under 55 years old.

There was a 67% increase in stroke in under 55s in just eight years.

“From 2002-2010 to 2010-2018, stroke incidence increased significantly among participants younger than 55 years (+67%).”

There was an almost doubling of “mini stroke” events in this same age group.

Myocardial infarction however decreased quite significantly.

“The significant increase in incidence at younger ages was also seen for transient ischemic attack (+87%).”

Increases in stroke and mini-stroke were even seen in people who did not have any of the major risk factors for these conditions.

“Stroke and mini-stroke at younger than 55 years were significantly associated with diabetes, hypertension, current smoking, and obesity but a significant increase in incidence was still seen in individuals without these risk factors.”

Most of the increase was seen in people employed in certain positions – particularly professional and managerial work.

“The increase was greatest in professional/managerial occupations (+152%) and least in partially skilled/unskilled occupations (+17%).”

At the same time, there was a 15% decrease in stroke in people over the age of 55.

“Stroke incidence fell significantly among participants aged 55 years or older.”

Younger people are having more strokes and mini-strokes, but older folks are having fewer. The results have baffled the researchers.

“Given the absence of this divergence for other vascular events, further research is needed to understand the causes of this difference.”

I don’t know the reasons for the changes in statistics seen here.

But it might have something to do with increasingly unhealthy lives, stress and dietary factors which can significantly increase the likelihood of stroke in all age groups.

At the same time, older people, but not younger people, are more likely to take steps to prevent stroke and other major life threatening events.

In my newsletter on stroke I discussed numerous different things that can reduce the risk of suffering stroke – this includes aspirin – something which older people are far more likely to take because they are at greater risk of suffering these conditions.

You should always consult your healthcare practitioner for guidance on medical diagnosis and treatment.
