Main risk factors and characteristics of ischemic strokes in young men (according to Yaroslavl Region data)
Abstract
Cerebrovascular diseases are the second leading cause of death worldwide. The results of various studies showed a high percentage of young adults among stroke patients. Men have a higher risk of stroke most of their life. Men and women with ischemic stroke differ in risk factors for stroke. The etiology of stroke is also different in men and women. In the course of the work a pro- and retrospective analysis of 90 case histories of young age men with ischemic stroke treated at the vascular department of Yaroslavl city (Russia) in 2013-2015 years was done. Among the patients studied, the average age at the time of ischemic stroke was 38.9 ± 4.9 years. In the sample, there were recorded as primary (n = 63; 70 %) and repeated (n = 27; 30 %) strokes. According to the TOAST criteria with full and in-depth examination of these patients atherothrombotic subtype (46.7 %), lacunar subtype (25.6 %), cardioembolic subtype (4.5 %), ischemic stroke of other known etiology (5.6 %) and unspecified subtype (17.6 %) revealed. As important risk factors among the patients of young age were smoking (especially in combination with hypercholesterolaemia), presence of hypertension, obesity (increased BMI). They make the greatest contribution to the development of atherosclerotic lesions of the carotid arteries in men up to 45 years.
