There’s also been a 44% increase in young adults hospitalized for stroke in the past decade.
“Boyz N the Hood” director John Singleton, just 51, died on Monday when he was taken off of life support after suffering a major stroke less than two weeks ago.
“Although stroke often affects older individuals, it is not only a disease of the elderly,” warned Dr. Mitchell S.V. Elkind, chair of the American Stroke Association Advisory Committee, in a statement after Perry’s death, noting that stroke can affect middle-aged and young adults — and even children. “In fact, there is evidence that stroke rates among young people are increasing in the United States, and this requires additional research.
Another myth is that this is a man’s disease; in fact, 55,000 more women have a stroke compared to men each year, and this strikes women especially hard because they tend to live longer than men. So older women who survive a stroke are often more likely to be living alone or to live in a long-term health care facility after a stroke, and they tend to have a worse recovery.
