Abstract
While global stroke incidence has reduced considerably in recent years, a new study suggests that stroke risk may be increasing among younger age groups. Worryingly, the main drivers are well-established risk factors with effective treatments, but new risks are emerging. Development of more accurate risk algorithms and novel targeted prevention programmes are needed to reduce this risk.
