Why do many people feel like they have cerebral infarction around the age of forty or fifty?

Cerebral infarction was the preserve of the elderly, but in the 21st century, people's living standards have been greatly improved, and the incidence of cerebral infarction has increased, and there is a trend of younger people.

There are not a few people around the age of 45 who have cerebral infarction, and many people will have psychological questions, why is this happening? Today I will dissect this question from a medical point of view.

1.Increased incidence of chronic diseases: <>

At present, the prevalence of chronic diseases in China is very high, whether it is hypertension or diabetes, and the number of confirmed cases in China is more than 10. Because hypertension, coronary heart disease, hyperuricemia and other diseases are chronic diseases, the progress of the disease is relatively slow, and many people do not recognize its harm.

Chronic diseases are currently unacceptable, and long-term oral medication is required, which is not only to control the indicators within the normal range, but also to prevent complications. However, many people do not recognize the harm of chronic diseases, take medicine intermittently, and do not often monitor blood pressure, blood sugar, blood uric acid and other indicators.

There are also some friends who take drugs intermittently, mainly because they are worried about the adverse reactions caused by long-term medication, in fact, this is a bit too much, because the purpose of taking medicine is to reduce the probability of disease complications, and the adverse reactions caused by drugs are really small compared with the complications of chronic diseases.

If these chronic diseases are not well controlled, they will damage blood vessels, aggravate the process of atherosclerosis, and under the action of certain triggers, such as emotional agitation, increased blood pressure, overeating, etc., blood vessels will be easily blocked, thus causing cerebral infarction.

But now not only is the pace of life accelerating, but also facing various pressures, such as buying a house, studying, getting married, working, etc. If you stay in this state of stress for a long time, the risk of stroke increases significantly.

In addition, many people also have bad habits, and many people are smoking and drinking alcohol nowadays. I have noticed in the neurology department before that most of the patients who have cerebral infarction at the age of 45 have bad habits of smoking and drinking. Long-term smoking and drinking can also damage blood vessels and accelerate the progression of atherosclerosis, and even if people around the age of 45 do not have these bad habits, their blood vessels have already aged to a certain extent.

Of course, I'm not here to raise the bar, there are indeed some people who never smoke or drink alcohol and have cerebral infarction, but this does not mean that smoking and drinking alcohol have nothing to do with cerebral infarction.

In addition, there is another important factor that few people insist on exercising, and you must know that the saying that life lies in exercise is not nonsense. Long-term exercise can not only enhance the heart and lungs, but also slow down the aging of blood vessels. The reduction of exercise will also make many people obese, and obesity not only increases the risk of hyperlipidemia, but also increases the incidence of hypertension and diabetes in such people, and the comprehensive effect is still easy to get cerebral infarction.

Because at this time, people's heads are very bad. Their blood vessels are not good, their minds are prone to lesions, brain tumors and so on will come to you with this.

Because people in their forties and fifties have begun to age, their organs have begun to age, and they are old enough, mainly because they are not in good physical condition.

When you reach the age of 45, atherosclerosis will occur, which is also the most basic ** of cerebral infarction, and there will often be hypertension. Middle-aged people smoke, alcohol abuse abound, for the sake of family, for work, less exercise, life pressure, irregular daily work and rest, overeating, etc., these unhealthy lifestyles are risk factors for cerebral infarction. Especially some middle-aged people, who have no regular work and rest time, often stay up late, do not sleep at eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening, and even stay up until two or three o'clock, and some even work overtime all night.

There are also people who eat irregularly, do not eat in the morning, take a bite at noon, eat and drink a lot at night, and even drink at night, eat supper, etc., irregular living conditions pose a threat to people's health, have a bad impact on blood circulation, and are easy to induce cerebral infarction, which is a very important factor causing cerebral infarction.
