According to a 2016 study by the Journal of the American Heart Association, there is an increase of 43.8 percent in hospitalization rates in acute ischemic strokes — when a blood clot blocks blood vessels to the brain, leading to worse outcomes — for patients between ages 25 and 44, based on data between 2000 and 2010.

Some factors have been associated with the rise of stroke in young adults, such as high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes and recreational drug and alcohol use.
