Experts Sound Alarm over ‘Shocking’ Spike in Strokes Among ‘Healthy’ Young People
Health experts have issued a chilling warning to the public over a “shocking” spike in strokes among “healthy” young people.
The “alarming” surge was identified in official UK government data.
The data shows that recorded cases of deadly strokes skyrocketed in 2023 and continued soaring this year.
In 2023/24, the data shows more than 12,500 British people in their 50s suffered the life-altering and potentially fatal condition.
By comparison, the figure stood at just over 8,000 in 2004/2005.
The increase marks a spike of 55 percent in two decades.
The trend far outpaces the 28 percent rise across all ages over the same period.
Experts said the “alarming” trends showed that the condition is no longer just a risk for the elderly.
Aside from age, an increased risk of strokes has traditionally been linked to obesity, stress, poor diet, and sedentary lifestyles.
It also comes amid a concerning trend of increasing rates of some types of rapidly developing cancers, specifically breast, lung, and bowel among younger people.
In response to the surge in strokes among young people, the UK’s Health Department has responded by blaming the lifestyles of the public for the issue.
UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting said:
“These figures are shocking, and even more so given the causes of stroke are largely preventable, such as high blood pressure and a poor diet.
“Prevention will always be better than cure.
“Not only because it means helping people to live well for longer, but also because a healthy workforce supports our growth mission too.”
Strokes affect more than 100,000 Britons annually — one every five minutes — claiming 38,000 lives.
This makes it the UK’s fourth biggest killer and a leading cause of disability.
Without prompt treatment, a stroke can result in death or long-term disabilities such as paralysis, memory loss, and communication problems.
Almost 800,000 people in the US are struck down each year, causing 137,000 deaths.
The problem occurs when the blood supply to the brain is cut off, killing brain cells.
The damage can lead to long-term disability and affect how people think and feel.
The most common cause is fatty deposits or a blood clot blocking arteries supplying the brain — known as ischaemic stroke.
This happens due to cardiovascular disease when blood vessels become narrowed or blocked over time by plaques.
These are made of cholesterol, calcium, and other substances that build up in the artery walls in a process known as atherosclerosis.
The other type — called hemorrhagic stroke — occurs when a blood vessel bursts in the brain and starts to leak its contents into the organ.
According to the fresh data from the UK government’s National Health Service (NHS), 12,533 people aged 50 to 59 had a stroke in 2023/24.
In total, there were 111,137 hospital admissions for strokes last year.
This was up 28 percent from two decades earlier when 87,069 were recorded.
Stroke numbers also rose by 42 percent among those aged 60 to 69, and by 25 percent for 70 to 79-year-olds.
NHS National Medical Director Professor Sir Stephen Powis said the figures show that strokes “are not just a risk for older people.”
Powis warns that everyone should be aware of the symptoms.
“There are likely to be a range of causes behind this alarming increase, but we know that lifestyle, and particularly obesity, poor diet, and lack of exercise, are among common factors that can increase risk of stroke and have a significant impact on cardiovascular health for people of working age in their 50s and 60s,” he added.
“Not only is stroke one of the biggest killers in England, it can lead to life-changing impacts for so many other families.”
However, Powis and other medical experts are refusing to address the elephant in the room.
As Slay News has reported, multiple studies have linked Covid mRNA “vaccines” to spikes in strokes as well as blood clots, heart failure, and sudden deaths, particularly in young people.
A major new study has also just linked Covid shots to surging reports of brain clots.
The damning new peer-reviewed study confirmed that Covid mRNA “vaccines” caused a staggering surge in deadly blood clots in the brain.
A team of leading American researchers found that Covid mRNA injections carry a risk of brain clots that is 1,119.6 times higher than the flu shot.
The major study involved one of the world’s leading cardiologists, Dr. Peter McCullough.
Dr. McCullough is raising the alarm over the bombshell study that identified a bone-chilling spike in brain clots among the Covid-vaccinated.
McCullough and his team uncovered alarming data showing that Covid mRNA shots have caused a staggering 112,000% increase in brain clots.
