What Is Cerebral Infarction?
7. Who’s At Risk?
Those people most at risk of suffering from a cerebral infarction are also those most at risk of having a stroke. A stroke can happen to any person at any time, but it is more likely to happen in people that are older. This is partly because the underlying causes of stroke are often those that will develop with age.
People with atherosclerosis are among the people at particularly high risk, as are people with a high blood pressure. Obese people are also at a higher risk, as are people that eat unhealthily and do little exercise. It is a good idea to get regular check-ups to try and identify potential problems early.
