When most people think of a stroke patient, they often picture someone over the age of 65.
But experts say the rate of strokes is increasing among young people and a new study suggests alcohol consumption may have something to do with it.
Researchers used a Korean national health database to study 1.5 million people in their 20s and 30s and asked them about their alcohol consumption over the course of six years, according to the study published Wednesday in Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
They found young people who were considered moderate to heavy drinkers were more likely to have a stroke compared to those who were considered light drinkers or didn’t drink alcohol at all.
