Stroke Risk Meter

If blood supply to the brain is interrupted (because of blockage or hemorrhage), brain cells begin to die within several minutes. This condition is called stroke. Stroke is a medical emergency. Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide. Some factors increase your risk of stroke. Many of them are modifiable. Therefore, stroke can be prevented if these risk factors are controlled.

You need to answer following 9 questions and then we will evaluate your relative risk of developing stroke, comparing with a person of your same age, gender, race/ethnicity but without these risk factors. The questions are about:

--Systolic pressure
--Atrial fibrillation
--Cholesterol level
--Diabetes
--Use of anti-coagulation drugs
--Diet
--Smoking
--Alcohol
--Drug abuse

We wish a good health by controlling the risk factors and preventing stroke!
