Overview
Risk factors for stroke include advanced age, hypertension (high blood pressure), previous stroke or TIA (transient ischaemic attack), diabetes mellitus, high cholesterol, cigarette smoking, atrial fibrillation, migraine[1] with aura, and thrombophilia. In clinical practice, blood pressure is the most important modifiable risk factor of stroke; however many other risk factors, such as cigarette smoking cessation and treatment of atrial fibrillation with anticoagulant drugs, are important.
Risk Factors
Risk factors of ischemic stroke may be divided into modifiable and non modifiable risk factors:[2][3][4][5][3][6][7]
| Modifiable risk factors | Non modifiable risk factors |
|---|---|
| Hypertension[2][8][3] | Age >55 years [2][3] |
| Diabetes mellitus[2][3][8] | Family history of ischemic stroke |
| Atrial fibrillation | African American and hispanic race[2][3] |
| Coronary heart disease[2] | Male gender[2][3][3] |
| Cigarette smoking[3] | Genetic disorders |
| Alcohal consumption[3] | |
| Hyperhomocysteinemia | |
| Obesity | |
| Hypertriglyceridemia[3] | |
| Hypothyroidism | |
| Oral contraceptive use | |
| Sedentary life style | |
| Hypercoagulable disorders[3] |
