Stroke is the most common neurological disease, mainly referring to neurological dysfunction caused by cerebral vascular lesions. Most strokes are caused by blood vessel blockage, that is, ischemic stroke.
80% of stroke risk factors are preventable. American Heart Association proposed the "Eight Elements of Life" to help the public master the prevention knowledge of various risk factors. They include diet, physical activity, smoking cessation (nicotine exposure), sleep health, weight, blood lipids, blood sugar and blood pressure.
