The Millennial Generation Threatening Stroke


A stroke is a disease that many faced with resignation. Affected by the disease like getting dead dogma or disabled for life. We need to beware of the disease because it is one of the number one killers in some countries, in addition to cancer.

Throughout the world, is currently experiencing the same thing. Strokes are becoming increasingly dangerous because anyone can be stricken regardless of age and economic status. Currently, one in six people in the world suffers from a stroke. Other records show, every 6 seconds there were 3 people affected by stroke. A number of fantastic and culminated in the question, we include the which?

Every year more than 15 million people in the world are affected by stroke. Six million of them died. And, the remaining five million will experience permanent disability. In the United States, stroke is the third killer after heart and cancer. Therefore, 43 percent of the total health budget is used for the management of stroke.

Currently, In the data recorded 80 percent of stroke sufferers live in developing countries. Very contradictory with the opinion that stroke is a disease of the rich or disease suffered because of the luxurious lifestyle. However, it could be taken the simple conclusion that in developed countries with a system of education and good health services and modern, strokes can be prevented and reduced the number of occurrences.

Treatment of stroke completely can prevent permanent disability. The thing is, the stroke is currently considered important so it seems to be a silent epidemic. As a result, funding, policy, or health promotion has not touched the community equally. Whereas, in addition to the deadly, the disease would have an impact on the social economy when resulted in a permanent disability.

In developed countries, the incidence of stroke is getting down. In the United States, common people taking aspirin (blood thinning drugs). People cycling to work instead of solely to avoid the traffic jam. The other reason is physical exercise. It is different from developing countries.

Behavior leading to stroke the more widespread. More and more young people are exposed to the risk of stroke. The life of the metropolis with fast food and stress have become the label that it is hard to avoid. Required is currently the education and promotion of prevention of stroke to the public. Of course, this is not the task of a physician only.

There are some risk factors for stroke. Some of them clearly can be controlled. That is high blood pressure (hypertension), high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, alcohol consumption, obesity, stress, and unhealthy lifestyle. That is, the pattern of life and health checked regularly, we can prevent stroke. This understanding needs to be educated to the entire community.

Prevention is always better than treatment. The availability of health facilities also contributed. A survey in the United States suggests 75 – 80 percent of strokes caused by narrowing of the arteries in the neck. And, it definitely can be treated. With the handling of both medical and operative actions using modern tools, cause a stroke (narrowing of the blood vessels) can be treated.

A stroke can strike anyone. However, the strokes can be prevented and cured. Need to be institutionally policy for education projects globally and populist. Stroke not only belongs to the people of the city. Everyone can be exposed so that educational messages not only delivered at the international hospital.

The first stroke is known as one of the degenerative diseases that attacks the old age. However, in recent years it is known that a stroke can also be experienced by young people (millennial generation). Much research has found that among the millennial generation stroke 18-34 years old has increased in several countries.

Stroke prevention should already be started at level clinics. Introduction to risk and early signs of a stroke can be started from a simple message as the importance of immunization in toddlers or signs of illness dengue fever.

The introduction of the early signs of stroke such as sudden tingling on one side of the body, suddenly the talk is unclear, sudden vertigo, or suddenly falls and commas must be inculcated to the whole community. And, when it finds someone has the signs of a stroke, she should be immediately brought to the nearest hospital or the nearest town with facilities handling primary stroke.

To avoid potential disability and death due to stroke, institutionally hospitals should also be more honest and responsible. Stroke center or corner, whatever its name not only made the symbol of the commodity to be sold but the means and resources inadequate. The community will be a lot of harm.
They need optimal handling and completely. The more quickly handled, the sufferer will heal perfectly. Necessary resources, means of diagnosis, and integrated systems in health facilities, especially since the golden time to stroke a maximum of 4 hours after the attack. To be honest, we haven't moved forward, but the least we can do education in the family and in our own neighborhoods.

Then prevent a stroke from now on. Lazy exercise and smoking are the leading cause of stroke. Lots of how to prevent a stroke, of whom diligently exercising, no/quit smoking, eat healthy and nutritious foods especially high fat low fiber, control yourself so as not to stress, and measure blood pressure regularly.


For parents, it is recommended to reduce salt because it can cause hypertension (high blood pressure) that can trigger a stroke. Maybe useful.
