Abstract

Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide, including Brazil¹,2. It is a more common
condition in the elderly, but it has an increasing prevalence in young adults due to the development of risk
factors that were typically attributed to older ages3. Risk factors can be categorized into non-modifiable
(race, ethnicity, gender, and age) and modifiable (arterial hypertension, obesity, diabetes mellitus, smoking,
and alcoholism), both contributing to distinct trends in incidence and mortality from stroke4.
