Study: Increasing trend of ischemic stroke among young people was more pronounced in underdeveloped areas with lower sociodemographic index (SDI) levels. Smoking, a high-sodium diet, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, renal dysfunction, hyperglycemia and high body mass index were associated with an increasing trend in the number of deaths from ischaemic stroke.
