Stroke deaths expected to increase by 50% globally by 2050, according to new report

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:23:38 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) – Stroke is the second most common cause of death worldwide, and researchers predict the number of stroke-related deaths to climb by 50% by 2050, according to a new report. A stroke occurs when a blockage cuts off blood supply to a region of the brain or when a blood vessel bursts in the brain. It can cause brain damage, long-term disability and is a leading cause of death in the U.S. Strokes in the U.S. are also more common in non-Hispanic Black adults than White adults and in lower income communities, per the CDC. Factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, little exercise and alcohol use can raise a person’s risk of having a stroke, according to the CDC. While stroke is a leading cause of death in the U.S., the number of stroke related deaths are increasing at a faster pace in low-income countries than in wealthier ones. A group of researchers with the World Stroke Organization–Lancet Neurology Commission Stroke C...
