Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Modifiable stroke risk-factors, which include poor lifestyle habits, account for 90 % of the risk of stroke. Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) related to cerebrovascular disorders rely on three main factors, including the severity of stroke-related symptoms, the occurrence of stroke complications, and stroke recurrences. Stroke complications and the risk of stroke recurrence are highly dependent on the control of vascular risk factors. Thus, the secondary prevention of stroke involves profound lifestyle modifications including substance use cessation and diet changes.
