RISK FACTORS AND MECHANISMS OF ISCHEMIC STROKE DEVELOPMENT IN WOMEN

Abstract

Stroke is a cause of permanent disability. The disease can occur in people of any age. In women, stroke often occurs between the ages of 18 and 65. Various factors can provoke a stroke. Unlike men, members of the weaker sex are subject to more pronounced hormonal changes. Hormone imbalance is one of the predisposing conditions. Currently, cerebral stroke is one of the most serious medical and social problems in the world.
