Strokes Hitting Younger More Frequently

A new study says that stroke victims are getting younger and younger. Research suggests that a larger number of people who suffer stroke are younger than 65. More than that, the younger the victim, the less likely they are to get therapy.

The reason for this is that the younger stroke suffers tend to have experienced a more mild stroke. So instead of giving them rehabilitation, the hospital just sends them home. The reality, however, is that even these patients need rehabilitation. Many have trouble adjusting after even a mild stroke.
