Youth Stroke

Only two studies were retrospective studies out of twenty studies. All other studies reviewed for paper were prospective studies. There were nineteen studies conducted in older age population. Only one study was done to analyze youth stroke (Zhang et.al, 2014). All nineteen studies had enrolled both men and women for their research while only one study was piloted for men only. Ten studies were conducted in United States, two each in Japan, United Kingdom and Spain while one each in Sweden, Germany, Taiwan and China. The topic of ten studies was sleep apnea, seven studies were on sleep duration, two studies had insomnia and one covered all sleeping disorders. General population was used for fouteen studies whereas hospital patients
One of the gap is fewer studies on younger population. Most of the studies have been done in older population. Various factors are different in these two population due to age, stress level, sleep quality, exposure to environment, living habits, culture and food. The study done in younger population has shown there has been increased incidence of stroke in youth which has a negative impact on quality of life, work and finance. This also leads to more issues in older age especially related to health and in turn finance. There is less compliance in this group and lead to more stroke incidence in older stages of life. The younger population study has shown that there is a dire need of further research for better understanding of different risks associated with strokes at such early stage of life as well as its long term impact in older age. This would help in diagnosis, treatment of stroke and especially prevention at earlier stages of
These risk factors are well known in medical fields and some are already been linked in causing stroke. However there are still some factors and issues that need more research in relation to stroke. We have to do further research to understand the mechanism and how these impact human and lead to stroke. There are some recommendations to improve the quality of results. It is suggested to have standardized exclusion criteria and confounders for adjustment. This would aid in adding uniformity and understanding results better. It is also suggested that all studies should be adjusted for hypertension and cholesterol as they play an important role in this. There is also emphasis on increasing awareness in patients, general population and medical staff. More studies for younger population should be designed and carried out for future. It is a complex matter; however further studies and research are recommended so we could totally comprehend the association between sleeping
