Are you at higher risk for a stroke?
occurs when a blood vessel ruptures or becomes blocked by a clot, restricting the brain from getting the oxygen it needs. When that happens, brain cells begin to die, triggering a range of symptoms that can vary depending on which region of the brain was affected. Sadly, this condition is the fifth-leading cause of death in the U.S., as well as a leading cause of disability.
The statistics appear to be even more stark when you consider stroke mortality, or your risk of dying from stroke. A 2009 study from the University of Alabama at Birmingham concluded that if you live in one of eight stroke belt states, your risk of stroke mortality is than if you live elsewhere in America. These states are Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Three states often considered Stroke Belt states—Indiana, Kentucky, and Virginia—were not included in the study.
