. Nearly 2 percent of women ages 35 to 54 reported suffering a stroke in the most recent federal health survey

You can diagnose/report it yourself?

Hmmm they need to compare obese woman on meds and not on meds...then get back to me.

I think the meds may play a part.

My sister-in-law had a massive stroke last year. Tall, thin, early 40s. She was fairly healthy however, so she is slowly recovering. She still has not regained the use of one arm. We brought her home. Anyone interested in a condo is Kissimmee?

Let’s see. Stress causes belly fat. But taxes force a lot of families to have both parents work, including women. And working outside of the home causes stress. Therefore, taxes cause belly fat in women.

This can be fixed with taxes being lowered so women can stay home and not stress out so much. Stroke levels should then return to 1950 levels.

Right?!

It will probably take a decade or longer for the medical community to recognize the cause, but I predict Micro Vascular Disease (MVD) will be implicated in this trend.

It happened even though more women in the recent survey were on medicines to control their cholesterol and blood pressure - steps that lower the risk of stroke.

Most of these 'medicines' are a complete and utter fraud! They play games with the cholesterol number but do squat as far as real health/healing.

I don’t think it’s all obsesity. A friend of mine had a stroke at 37, weighed 120 lbs and was a long time user (nonsmoker) of birth control. Just saying...

Well, they can’t blame this on the old Dimetapp.

Cindy McCain had a stroke in 2004, age 50. Fortunately she seems completely recovered now.

In Gary Taubes book, “Good Calories, Bad Calories” he points out that people on lowfat diets - yes, lowfat diets, have a greater risk for stroke. I think this was based on Japanese people, but still interesting. Anecdotal evidence here, and in my own life (my stepmom was a lowfat fanatic and had a stroke last year) points toward thin women, not heavier ones, having strokes. Doesn’t prove diddly, but it’s interesting.
