Stroke prevention, management and recovery in young people FMTNews FMTLifestyle
In 2016, 40% of stroke cases nationwide that required hospital admission occurred in those aged below 60.
According to Dr Kok Chin Yong, consultant neurologist from a medical centre in Sunway Velocity, Kuala Lumpur, 40% of stroke cases nationwide in 2016 that required hospital admission happened in those aged below 60. Stress, too, can lead to behaviours that could potentially result in stroke; for example, not getting enough sleep could impact on the immune system and cause blood and heart issues.
To address these risks, young adults need to adopt healthy lifestyle habits like regular exercise and a well-balanced diet. Kok strongly discourages the use of recreational drugs, as misuse and overdose could lead to severe constriction of blood vessels and, in turn, stroke.Common features of stroke include facial drooping, arm weakness, and speech difficulties.
The EksoNR exoskeleton has been widely adopted in recent years to help stroke and other patients walk again.
