8. What Are Prevention Strategies?
Many of the prevention strategies are aimed at reducing the level of risk. Ask your doctor about ways to manage high cholesterol, diabetes or other risk factors. Moderating drinking, engaging in regular exercise and managing your diet are common prevention strategies.
Some risk factors are associated with obesity, so your doctor may also recommend maintaining a healthy weight as part of your prevention strategy. While an embolic stroke can affect anyone, the risk is higher for individuals 55 years and older.
