Influence of Diabetes Mellitus on Stroke
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 12, Issue 11
Abstract
Diabetes is known to be an independent risk factor for the development of stroke. Stroke accounts for 20% of deaths among patients with diabetes, and is seen more commonly in younger age group than in non-diabetics. This reflects the adverse impact on economy and constitutes a major burden on the families of these patients and the country as well. This review highlights the influence of diabetes on stroke in many aspects, aiming to share a positive input on this major health problem.
