A study of 6,000 people in 22 countries has come up with the 10 factors associated with a 90% risk of strokes.

It would make sense if there is anything there that you can change, please, please do something about it. If there is any help we can give then please ask a question.

I'd add an eleventh risk factor, which you can't do anything about, family history.
