News| Strokes aren't just an elderly issue: Experts warn of rise in cases among younger people in Singapore

[snapp]

Think you're too young to suffer a stroke?

According to experts and statistics, the life-threatening condition often thought to affect only the elderly might actually be a cause for concern among even the younger demographic.

While the mean age of stroke in Singapore is 65 years old according to the Singapore National Stroke Association, doctors are now observing an increased number of stroke cases in younger Singaporeans.

Referencing Singapore Stroke Registry's annual report from 2021, Dr Benjamin Tan, consultant for the division of neurology and department of medicine at National University Hospital (NUH), told AsiaOne that the incidence rate of stroke among those aged 40 to 49 "leapt by over 30 per cent over a decade".

My mother eat cai png all her life never exercise. No stroke ever or heart issue. But she statin user for years too.

My Dad also statin user. No HBP or diabetes. Hardly exercise. Also never watched his diet. Suffered a stroke at 86 yo. Didnt have all the FAST symptoms. Couldnt lift his left leg and arm. But pressure very high - 160. So called ambulance. Even paramedics also didnt believe it is stroke.

If the patient is admitted to the hospital within 3 hours, likely able to reverse or reduce the severity of the stroke.
