1. According to the data released by the National Health and Wellness Commission of China, there are about 2-3 million new stroke patients in China every year, including about1.5-2 million deaths. The death rate of stroke is high, and it is easy to leave sequelae after the onset, such as paralysis, aphasia and cognitive impairment. It has brought a heavy burden to patients and families.
2. Stroke has a high mortality rate and a high disability rate. Even after timely treatment, some patients may still leave different degrees of sequelae. These sequelae not only affect the quality of life of patients, but also bring extra burden to families and society. Therefore, the prevention and treatment of stroke has become the focus of medical and social attention.
3. In order to prevent and treat stroke, we need to strengthen public education and improve the public's knowledge and understanding of stroke. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the construction of medical system and improve the level of diagnosis and treatment of stroke, including thrombolytic therapy, antiplatelet therapy and rehabilitation therapy. It is also necessary to strengthen the prevention and control of common risk factors such as hypertension and diabetes, and reduce the incidence and mortality of stroke.
Methods of preventing stroke
1. Controlling hypertension: Hypertension is one of the important risk factors leading to stroke. Therefore, keeping blood pressure within the normal range is an important measure to prevent stroke. Check blood pressure regularly, and carry out antihypertensive treatment and lifestyle changes according to the doctor's advice, such as reducing salt intake and quitting smoking.
2. Control diabetes: Diabetic patients have a higher risk of stroke than non-diabetic patients. By controlling blood sugar level, the risk of stroke can be reduced. This includes following the doctor's advice for medication and lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise and reasonable diet. Regular physical examination: Regular physical examination can find and treat the risk factors that may lead to stroke as soon as possible.
3, quit smoking and limit alcohol: smoking and excessive drinking will increase the risk of stroke. Quitting smoking and limiting alcohol intake can reduce the risk of stroke. Healthy eating: Keeping healthy eating habits can prevent stroke. It is suggested to eat more vegetables, fruits, whole grains and low-fat foods, and reduce the intake of high-calorie, high-fat and high-sugar foods.
4. Regular exercise: Proper aerobic exercise can reduce the risk of stroke. It is recommended to do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise every week, such as brisk walking and cycling. Weight control: Obesity and overweight increase the risk of stroke. By maintaining a healthy weight and lifestyle, the risk of stroke can be reduced.
