A study published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes found that migraines have a significant association with the incidence of stroke in young adults, comparable to established risk factors such as hypertension, high cholesterol, and smoking. The study, based on data from over 2,600 adults aged 18 to 55 who had strokes, found that nontraditional risk factors like migraines, blood clotting disorders, and kidney failure were more prevalent in younger adults. Traditional risk factors like high blood pressure were more significant in adults aged 35 to 44. The study suggests that both traditional and nontraditional risk factors should be considered in stroke prevention strategies for young people.
