Helsinki: A new study has found that women who gain weight in their teens or up to age 55 have an increased risk of stroke due to blood clots.
According to media reports, the study, conducted by Finnish researchers, covers a 50-year analysis, the results of which were published in the Journal of the American Stroke Association.
The findings are based on a study conducted in Finland that analyzed more than 10,000 people from birth to their 50s, whose primary findings were that researchers found that trying to lose weight after adolescence was also associated with ischemic heart disease. May not eliminate the risk of stroke.
According to the US Heart Association, an ischemic stroke is a type of stroke caused by a blood clot blocking the blood supply to the brain. It is the most common type of stroke, accounting for about 87 percent of all stroke cases.
Medical professionals should focus on overweight and obesity in youth and promote healthy eating and physical activity from an early age, the researchers said.
