Why do older people have strokes?

Stroke in the elderly is generally related to cerebral arteriosclerosis, cerebral vascular stenosis, thrombosis, plaque formation, vascular wall occlusion, and vascular rupture. These vascular changes are generally related to susceptibility factors for arteriosclerosis, such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, smoking, alcoholism, obesity, hyperhomocysteinemia, heart disease, arrhythmia, and heart failure. If you want to prevent stroke, you must maintain your health, eat a low-salt, low-fat, low-sugar diet, control some predisposing factors at a good level, such as controlling high blood pressure, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and heart disease, and exercise properly.
