David Perlmutter, M.D.. Board-certified neurologist; Author, Power Up Your Brain: The Neuroscience of Enlightenment David Perlmutter, M.D. Olive Oil Cuts Stroke Risk? ::MonkeyEek:: Stroke is the third leading cause of death and the number one cause of serious, long-term disability in the United States. More common in women, strokes affect close to 800,000 Americans each year killing nearly 150,000. While strokes typically occur in people over the age of 65, they can occur at any age. Strokes are categorized as either bleeding into the brain or a blockage in blood supply, known as an ischemic stroke. The latter are overwhelmingly more common, compromising about 87 percent of all stroke events. ::snipping2:: |
